Empowering Futures Through Gaming and Coding with Shao-Con
At Battle & Brew, we understand the transformative power of gaming. We see it every day in our venues, where games bring people together, spark creativity, and foster new skills. That's why we're thrilled to spotlight and support an incredible initiative in our community: Shao-Con.
Gaming Leads to Coding, Coding Leads to High-Paying Careers
In recent years, Georgia has made significant strides in recognizing the value of eSports. In 2018, the Georgia High School Association elevated eSports to the same status as traditional sports like football, basketball, and soccer. Yet, many Georgians are still unaware of this development and the vast opportunities it presents.
Shao-Con: A Platform for Growth
Shao-Con is more than just a celebration of young eSports athletes; it's a vital platform that introduces students, families, and communities to exciting career opportunities. By engaging with Shao-Con, local businesses can sponsor high school eSports teams, providing financial support that allows students to focus on their passion for gaming without the burden of financial concerns. This sponsorship not only offers a tax-deductible benefit for businesses but also builds community awareness and support for these burgeoning programs.
The Bigger Picture
Shao-Con's impact extends beyond gaming. The event includes the GGDA Intercollegiate College & Job Fair and the Creatives' Multimedia Expo, offering young gamers exposure to "Life After High School." This exposure can inspire and guide them toward high-paying careers in tech and multimedia industries.
By inviting regional collegiate and professional eSports teams, Shao-Con showcases the vast opportunities within the eSports ecosystem, allowing for scouting and recruitment of up-and-coming talent. This initiative benefits students, schools, businesses, and the broader community by fostering positivity and long-term success.
