E-KIDS
E-kids is our month-to-month project-based class to introduce students to the world of
esports, technology, and computer literacy. Our September curriculum focuses on game
design. Students will create their own video game characters, and levels, and learn to
pitch a game to possible investors.
What is the Esports Program?
The YMCA Esports program serves today’s youth (8-14 years old) by providing
opportunities for ALL students to use Esports as a platform to acquire critical
communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills needed to thrive in work and in
life.
How Can Esports Benefit My Child?
Our curriculum supports students with a wide variety of roles, expands their skills, and
helps them to gain real-life experience for future career aspirations within esports, or
outside of it. The class is a great chance for your child to connect with like-minded kids,
with similar interests, while still following their passion, and staying on a steady path
towards growth. Participants will learn strong character values in an educational
environment supported by the esports ecosystem pictured below.

Request for your consideration to address the epsorts in schools as well as the Orange
County YMCA under federal laws describe as child abuse. To blue light legislation to
address a serious gap on very critical mater of eye sight for all. To have members from
Orange County hold a hearing as why schools promote esports with federal uniformed
complaint to CA State unattainable to attempt to file a complaint to local LEA with any
5
social media concern. To a federal awareness radio,TV campaign with local coalition to
cross aboard silos that are currently prevent wellness.
Thank You
