Class Experience

Overwatch 2 is a team-based shooter game featuring two teams of five, chosen from a diverse selection of heroes, each with unique powers, all fighting to secure objectives in fast paced, intricate battles for supremacy over territories. Teams are broken down into three specialties; Tank heroes (damage sponges that also blast through the front lines to break teams apart), Damage/DPS heroes (high damage output to put lots of pressure on the other team), and Support heroes (healing, damage boosting, and more!). Teams must work together to win each map. Will you and your squad listen to Baptiste and "light them up"? Or will you follow the words of Reaper, and "die, die, die"?

In this ongoing Let's Play club, we will meet once per week and work on strategy, technique, communication skills, and most importantly, having fun. No experience is necessary, and players of all levels of experience are welcome. We will play the game together in private matches, while keeping chat and video to the Zoom call. If learners can't make it, we can substitute some A.I. bots to take their place.

There won't be a weekly session schedule regarding topic, as this game and class will be altered each week (and even mid-class) by the learners. However, each week we will touch on tips and tricks related to each chosen Hero.

A copy of Overwatch 2 will need to be purchased and installed on each learner's PC or console in order to play, as there is now cross-platform capability. Please do this ahead of time so as to avoid learners needing to wait while others play, thanks!
Learning Goals
Students will hone in on social skills like teamwork and collaboration, as well as strategy in a game that is constantly evolving. We will also always follow the rules of sportsmanship, for at the end of the day, it is just a game, even when playing competitively.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Overwatch 2 is rated T for teen, due to its featuring blood (though very sparsely), tobacco use (again, sparsely), and violence. If you would like to see if it seems appropriate for your learner, there are several live play videos of the game on YouTube, as well as the trailers for the game at https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/ *Important* As this is a game that requires gamer tags (online usernames) to play, that means it's a required piece of personal information in order to play the game. I will be setting up private servers, as I've said, but all usernames need to be sent to me upon sign-up (whether by learner or, preferably parent), in a PRIVATE message. Usernames cannot be posted publicly in the classroom, and will be deleted if I see them. They need to be sent via private message to maintain security. Thanks!
Supply List
Players will need an installed copy of Overwatch 2 for PC or console, which can be found at https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/ and is free to play. I will personally be playing via PC, using the Battle.Net app, but due to the addition of cross-play capabilities, it is also an option to join in from XBox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I love playing board games and video games, and have played nearly 500 hours of Overwatch, the majority of which has been played in Competitive modes. I also follow YouTube streamers that focus on tips and tricks for the game, and follow the Overwatch League to glean techniques from the pros themselves.
