While classes at the high-school and college levels remain in a variety of hybrid learning modes, school sports are mostly off the field due to contact concerns. But there is one shining exception: Esports! More than 185 colleges and universities, and many high schools, play host to formal interscholastic Esports teams which are a great channel for communication and competition among different student populations.

Join us on The Digital Aspirations in Education Podcast as host Jared Heiner, Director of Education Innovation and Sales at Aspire Technology Partners, interviews Tyler Schrodt, founder of the Electronic Gaming Federation (EGF), the official governing body for Division-1 Collegiate, High School and Youth Amateur Esports leagues. Jared and Tyler discuss the exciting and innovative ways that electronic gaming is impacting education and how the EGF is providing an infrastructure for interscholastic Esports to leverage the best aspects of traditional sports in online competitions.
