🎾 At Tennis Australia, we believe 'playing' makes life better, while our vision is to create a playful world through tennis for everyone. This is why I’m so pleased to announce the launch of our newest venture, the AO Schools Block Buster Tennis Challenge, on Minecraft Education. 🎮 Partnering with the Australian Esports League, the AO Schools Block Buster Tennis Challenge aims to inspire creativity and teamwork by inviting students across Australia to reimagine the Australian Open precinct for the next generation, capturing its essential features while incorporating their innovative ideas. 💡 Students (including home-schooled students) will use their creativity and problem-solving skills to design a future AO precinct that not only meets the environmental challenges we face, but also enhances the experience for players, fans, and the community. By focusing on sustainable practices, climate considerations, and cutting-edge technologies, this challenge encourages students to think big, innovate, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. 🎒 Through this interactive project, students will enhance their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills, learn about environmental responsibility, and develop teamwork and communication abilities. 🏆 The national champions will be flown to Melbourne for an unforgettable AO experience. The grand prize includes a money-can’t-buy Rod Laver Arena court walk and behind-the-scenes tour, a player meet and greet, and a photoshoot with the AO trophies. State and Year based winners will take home a selection of vouchers and gaming products. 📢 “Schools play a crucial role in the tennis ecosystem in Australia, by nurturing young talent, fostering a love for the sport, and building the foundation for future champions.” Once again, Tennis Australia is pioneering the way brands and rights holders engage with and grow younger audiences. 🔗 Sign up here. https://lnkd.in/g3Qn_FwD 🙏 Australian Esports League, Oz Comic Con, Click Media, Fortress, AOC Monitors, Darren Kwan, Sarah Jae. ⏭ Australian Science Teachers Association, Australian Professional Teachers Association (APTA), Metaverse Marcom, Jo Redfern 🔜 Sport Summit Como
