CDW in Esports Education
We get esports can change the game for today’s students.
Collegiate esports has seen a major boom in recent years. Thoughtful, purpose-built gaming programs not only serve as a key recruitment differentiator, but also create opportunities to compete against other colleges and universities, design interdepartmental curricula, prepare students to work in the ever-growing esports industry, and generate revenue.
WHY CDW FOR ESPORTS
Coordinated planning and support are essential to establishing an esports program with lasting impact. Whether rolling out a handful of gaming stations or building out a 500-seat esports arena, CDW can help.
We outfit educational spaces with the latest gaming PCs and accessories, perform network capacity and speed assessments and upgrades, and even design a gaming room layout to account for ergonomic player seating and a fun spectator experience.
Our esports consultative services help you visualise and plan your ideal esports program.
