Esports is much more than sitting down and playing video games. It’s a social activity that brings students together with common interests and creates a tight-knit, inclusive community. Esports exposes its participants to an abundance of STEM-related skills and topics applicable to career opportunities. The creation of video games is heavily reliant on computer science and graphic rendering processes. Esports relies on technology and the products of software development which are vital pillars of STEM. In-game, players utilize statistics, math, and asset allocation concepts on the fly to form winning strategies. Post-game, players analyze statistics to understand their performance and look for ways to improve their gameplay.

Satisfying Minnesota competitive bidding requirements.

Vendors we provide are the result of either formal bids (identified as State Bid or SB) or negotiated contracts (identified as Preferred Vendors or PV).

‍

The contracted vendors we have known as State Bid or SB vendors are established through formal bids and purchasing from them satisfies Minnesota competitive bidding requirements - regardless of the amount of the purchase. The ability to do so is outlined in Minnesota Statutes123A.2 and 471.345.

‍

The combination of these two statutes gives members the ability to purchase from contracted vendors while remaining in compliance with the Minnesota competitive bidding requirements.
