REAL EDUCATION FOR THE DIGITAL AGE
ABOUT REAL DIGITIZED
The American education system is extremely outdated and isn't ensuring that we are graduating high school with relevant knowledge that will ensure we will be successful in life. Instead of complaining about it, we created a solution. We believe in meeting people where they are which is the digital space. We provide free educational content that empowers Black communities across the nation and establish pathways into STEAM fields via video games/esports.
Many people are told that video games are a waste of time but it is because we are not informed about opportunities and/or given access points to this multi-billion dollar industry. We are committed to erasing this stigma and assisting individuals with gaining the skills necessary to thrive in this space as well as life overall.
