Dubai: The gaming product marketplace Unesportsity is testing a curriculum for students as young as three. At the Citizens School, where Dr. Adil is chairman, the pilot project is being designed. Their objective, he clarified, is to make studying fun while quietly developing critical abilities.
He stated, “We want people to realize that gaming can introduce economic output and benefit gamers by upskilling.”
“We wish to introduce gaming in a beneficial and positive way across schools and universities, ultimately growing it into a curriculum that will use gaming for skilling.”

According to Dr. Adil Alzarooni, the founder of CapiZona Ventures, the company that operates Unesportsity, gaming abilities can also be helpful in everyday life. Whether or not kids end up playing video games, he hopes this program will help them develop those abilities for the future.
Unesportsity has opened its first physical site inside a café on Sheikh Zayed Road, offering gaming competitions aimed at introducing esports to youth. The studio has several objectives.
They will eventually include both schools and universities in tournament management software. Their next goal is to bring the program to more communities and schools after testing the venue, the tournament administration, and the incentives system.
