Lenovo, one of the largest PC makers, launched an initiative to help build and manage esports programs at schools K-12 and universities as the COVID-19 pandemic forces remote learning and limited in-school activities.

On Thursday, the company announced its Lenovo Sports Solutions for Education would bring advisory services and end-to-end solutions for school’s esports programs. Specifically, the offering will provide support and equipment, including software and hardware from Lenovo Legion and Workstation lines, to help schools build and manage teams for esports league competitions.

“For many reasons, education institutions are ready to begin or expand esports programs but need assistance with IT, stakeholders, and scholastic connections to get started. From in-school esports arena design and game management, to helping protect student safety and managing varsity teams, Lenovo has the solutions for educators to adopt or accelerate this growing opportunity for students,” Rich Henderson, director of global education solutions at Lenovo said.

The company hopes to increase student engagement through at-home school gaming networks that include matchups and leaderboards as the pandemic wreaked havoc on school activities. The program will be available at the K-12 and college level, with over 170 U.S. colleges having already established varsity esports programs.

“Deciding to work with Lenovo has been one of our best decisions from the start. There have been countless times when having the expertise of its teams has saved us time and money while helping us to provide a professional experience for our students and viewers; and pushed us further to our goal of having successful, competitive varsity teams,” Lee Hyde, Director for ResNET at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said.

The company expects the program to be offered in select markets worldwide by 2021.

Shares of Lenovo were trading at $13.56 a share, down from its previous close of $13.91 a share.
