Video gamers focus on their screens in the UNCG esports arena.

The UNCG Scholastic Esports Alliance is looking for groups to table at the upcoming North Carolina Games in Education Summit (NCGIES).

This gaming and STEM education conference provides students and educators with game development workshops to develop valuable technical skills. It will be held at Moran Commons on May 16-17.

Exhibitors will receive a table and two chairs. The tabling times each day will be from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. This is a great opportunity for any departments or groups wanting to advertise to educators.

This year’s summit also serves as the official launch of North Carolina’s new Gameplan Unreal Engine 3D Fundamentals Certification, giving districts and educators a clear entry point into the expectations, resources, and opportunities tied to the NC middle and high school computer science requirement. By connecting the requirement with game design, digital creativity, and hands-on technical learning, NCGIES helps schools see how video games and video game technology can be integrated meaningfully into the student experience.

Anyone interested in tabling can email Sophie Priest at sepriest@uncg.edu.
