Math-based video game competitions provide a compelling environment to support student learning across a broad range of skill levels, offering the opportunity, regardless of academic background, for students to participate and achieve academic success. The spring tournament season kicks off this month in Dallas Independent School District at its annual STEM Day event on Saturday, February 6, 2016.

The competitions are typically conducted as live physical events involving elementary, middle and high school students under a team-based and/or individual-based structure with curriculum differentiated according to a student's current grade or performance level. This unique feature of the DimensionU Gaming platform, combined with its action-oriented game format, enables and fosters participation among a more inclusive base of students.

" We are creating positive change for many students and lighting a path towards the opportunity for higher education by establishing educational success through non-traditional means," added Hoy.
