Interested in bringing esports to your own classroom? Already a pro with the controller? Either way, Esports @ Bett is a must-see feature of the show in partnership with British Esports Federation.
Esports @ Bett
In association with
The power of play!
Launched in 2022, this feature at Bett has inspired and enabled educators to take steps to launch esports facilities in their own learning environments. Following the success of the feature, we’re excited to announce the return of Esports @ Bett in 2024 with a brand-new look!
Why esports in education?
Benefits of esports
Esports is about much more than kids playing video games. Learning through play has always been a tried-and-tested method in education, so why can't it extend to the online world?
- Specialist programmes engage with students through their hobbies and interests
- Expands the possibilities for growth within SEN classrooms
- Meets students’ needs when the traditional learning system may not be suitable
- Increases student moral and develops skills for future careers
- This new way of learning opens students up to new opportunities, some of whom may never have considered higher education until they explored the qualifications relevant to esports
What to expect at Bett 2024
Attendees can expect discussions on the role esports plays in education, opportunities to connect with fellow educators, a front-row seat to the latest tech solutions, and back by popular demand, Rocket League tournaments.
And that's not all - with insightful workshops, networking sessions, discussions from leading professionals and the chance to check out the best esports solutions, attendees are sure to be left inspired and equipped to enhance learning through the power of play!

Esports qualifications
Esports has links to STEM based subjects and creative skills, which can be applied in further education through a range of career paths. British Esports and Pearson released a BTEC qualification in esports in 2020, which has taken off as an option for students to study what they enjoy.
Inclusion in esports
Esports can be used as a method of teaching in a wide range of classrooms, specifically in SEND classrooms. With esports, students with disabilities can participate in group activities like never before with the introduction of new technology, making gaming more accessible for everyone.
