ABOUT THE EVENT
In today’s digital age, proficiency with technology is as important as traditional literacy.
We believe that esports is a powerful tool for education and growth.
Our goal is to make esports accessible to students by offering top-tier training, mentorship, and opportunities to thrive in a supportive community.
The Array’s “Top End Inter-school Esports” program has run since 2024, and is supported by the Northern Territory Government Departments of Trade, Business and Asian Relations.
Each semester, the program includes 4 weekly sessions, each about 90 minutes long, held at your school.
During these sessions students will assist with setting up equipment, networking & software, receive a short ‘learning focus’ educational segment, participate in esports competitive play, and assist with packdown.
Following the weekly sessions, interschool tournament days will be held with all participating schools invited to bring their best teams to compete.
Your school could be the launchpad for tomorrow’s e-athletes! Get in touch and let’s work together: admin@thearray.gg
