Healthy Player One

2021 CODiE Award Finalist

Healthy Player One offers harassment/bullying protection that allows users to capture game play and audio with the touch of a key, storing potential incidents on our dashboard to be reviewed by school officials with a clear chain of custody over all evidence. The information is captured on the PC and uploaded to the cloud after the game automatically where it is logged and accessible for investigation.

Healthy Player One also provides injury protection by allowing school officials to establish time limits for play, logging off students to take mandatory rest breaks and requiring the self-reporting of any symptoms that may require further review by school and health officials.

Professional Development & Training

We have partnered with NASEF to offer a multitude of professional development and training options to address each aspect of creating, running, and maintaining an esports program, in addition to integrating curriculum into an esports platform, to best engage their student population and attendees.

Live Production

We offer a comprehensive livestreaming curriculum that teaches students livestreaming production techniques, which covers free and open-source software (OBS Studio) and commercially available software used in both esports and traditional broadcast industries (vMix and Wirecast).

This also integrates with HighSchool.GG CTE Career Development events where students can submit their live events to be judged by industry professionals and receive valuable feedback and mentoring along the way.
