How It
Works.

It Starts With Technology

Every match, race, and round runs through our competition platform, so scores, schedules, and standings live in one place.

Creating A Community

Our STEM leagues provide the structure of a regular season roster, giving your digital competitors the exact same environment to build camaraderie and show up for their team as traditional athletes.

Get Involved

You can get involved and make a difference. Whether you're an outgoing student, a supportive parent, an eager educator, or a collaborative partner, we have ways for everyone to play a part.

Esports

What does a season look like?

Our scholastic esports leagues follow the same structure as the traditional sports in your building. Students practice with a coach, compete on a set schedule, and play through playoffs to a state tournament.

Cultivate Teamwork

Assigned roles mean players learn to call plays and win as a team.

Engage In Critical Thinking

Matches shift every few minutes, so competitors read and adjust on the fly.

Expand Adaptability

Every opponent brings something new, and students learn to change the plan mid-season and mid-match.

Drone Racing

How does a drone season work?

Students fly school-safe racing drones through the season in both FPV and simulator races, going head to head against other local schools all season and building to our Drone Racing Regionals.

Hands-On Experience With Drones

Pilots learn to fly and understand the hardware, from motors to flight controller.

Develop Problem-Solving Skills

Every course is a puzzle first; pilots find the fastest line, then refine it.

Career Readiness

Add our FAA Part 107 prep so students finish ready to earn the pilot certificate.

What Our Educators Say

“
MacKenzie Dokkebakken
Activities Director, Benson Public Schools
Participation in esports naturally sparks interest in high-demand fields such as computer science, cybersecurity, and digital media, and the rise of collegiate esports offers students tangible pathways to scholarship. We have also seen students improve their grades and attendance specifically to remain active on the team.
“
Kain Schow
General Manager, Norman County East
Fenworks gave an opportunity to those kids who don't always want to be in football, basketball, baseball—the sports that most high schools have. It's something different for them.
“
Dennis Abernathy
Principal, Warroad High School
The amount of money to provide esports through Fenworks is miniscule compared to some of the programs schools already run... Why wouldn't we want to provide that to another group, especially for the low cost?
“
Dr. Jill Louters
Principal
Research suggests that in the next five years, 60% of jobs in the world will require tech skills. So where do you get those skills? Some of that comes through esports, which entails not just the analysis, the cognitive thinking, and technical skill, but also the networking and teamwork that occurs online. These are essential skills!
“
Tiffany Schroeer
Executive Director, Empowering Kids
We don't have to understand how esports works and how video games work to know that this is important to them and they're practicing leadership and communication.
“
Christi Stoll
Fundraising Director
It's not just about playing video games; it's about learning new things, learning about technology, and all of the other things that go along with technology.

Questions From Schools

Common Questions

What is Fenworks?

Fenworks is a scholastic competition organization that partners with schools to run competitive high-tech activities: esports leagues, drone racing, and a golf simulator league. Fenworks runs the competition platform, coaching support, scheduling, and officiating so schools can take part with a small team.

What does it cost to run a Fenworks program?

Costs vary by school. However, most run for a fraction of the cost of a traditional sport, and we will work with you to find the right plan for your school’s budget.

Does our school need special equipment or staff?

No specialist staff required. Your school just needs an adult to serve as the program advisor, the point of contact who keeps things running on your end; we handle the coaching, officiating, and scheduling from there.

Which STEM programs for schools can we run?

Schools can run esports, drone racing, the golf simulator league, or all three. Our STEM programs for schools serve middle school, high school, and collegiate teams across the US and Canada.
