At Metro Esports, we believe that gaming is more than just fun—it’s a gateway to learning and a pathway to new opportunities.
If you’re one of those people who think gaming is just about playing, you’re in for a surprise. At Metro Esports, we see gaming as a powerful tool that helps kids develop the critical skills they’ll need for the future—especially in the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Here’s how gaming helps kids learn and grow in the best ways possible.
Minecraft & Code: Turning a Blocky World Into a Coding Playground
At first glance, Minecraft is just a game where you build, mine, and explore. But when you add coding, it becomes so much more! In our Minecraft & Code program, kids learn the basics of programming by creating their own mods, commands, and mini-games. It’s not just about slaying dragons—it’s about understanding how logic, structure, and problem-solving play a role in everything they create.
Imagine a world where kids learn how to break down complex ideas (like building an in-game redstone circuit) and apply them to real-world coding languages. Minecraft offers an immersive, hands-on experience that allows young minds to tackle coding challenges in a way that feels like play.

Roblox & Code: Where Creativity Meets Code
What makes Roblox so cool? It’s not just about playing the game—it’s about creating within it. In our Roblox & Code program, kids get to design their own games and experiences, learning coding concepts as they go. Roblox is an open world of possibilities, and when kids understand the code behind the fun, they unlock a whole new level of creativity.
They’ll start by learning to code with Lua (the language behind Roblox games) and work toward making fully interactive games that they can share with the world. So while they’re having a blast designing their dream games, they’re simultaneously learning how coding shapes our digital experiences.

Why Gaming Matters for STEM Learning
Gaming in STEM is all about teaching kids how to think critically, solve problems, and collaborate with others—all while having fun. Whether they’re coding in Minecraft or building their first Roblox game, they’re learning how to think logically and use technology in a creative and meaningful way.
At Metro Esports, we don’t just teach kids to play—we teach them to create and innovate.
