🎮 Join MAMK Gamers, an exciting NEW Esports team experience run by The STEM Alliance 🎮
Sign up your middle schooler for the MAMK Gamers Spring 2026 Esports Team to compete in the U.S. Academic E-Sports League Fortnite Competitions. Students will collaborate, compete, and grow through structured practice that sharpens strategy, teamwork, and coordination.
Students compete online against schools all over the U.S for 7 weeks, meeting twice a week at the 125 Tech Clubhouse, with an additional 2 weeks of playoffs for teams that advance. Post-season meetings will focus on reviewing team strategy and stats, celebrating teamwork and growth, and showcasing what they learned.
Because players compete in pairs, each player is critical. Consistent attendance and teamwork are 100% required throughout the season and will impact future enrollment. We are playing to win. Attendance is not optional.
Outside of matches, students will engage in self-directed, hands-on projects that build STEM skills, leadership, communication, and strategic thinking. Topics include: team-building, play strategy practice, industry explorations, and marketing.
What Students Will Do:
➤ Compete in U.S. Academic E-Sports League Fortnite matches against middle schools across the country.
➤ Play in weekly online matches over a 7-week regular season.
➤ Participate in 2 weeks of playoffs if the team qualifies.
➤ Practice good sportsmanship and collaboration.
➤ Engage in ongoing hands-on STEM learning experiences that support team building, skill development, and career exploration in content creation, Esports, and the tech industry.
