UNCG’s E2 Weekend
Esports + Education
At UNC Greensboro, we are committed to combining engaging student life with academic paths to emerging industries. Our new state-of-the-art esports arena is a hub where these paths combine in a powerful way.
UNCG invites students and educators to E2 In collaboration with Epic Games, UNCG hosts two E2 Weekends per year. One E2 Weekend happens in the Fall, and one happens in the Spring. The E2 stands for Esports and Education. The event maintains the same theming throughout, but has different core events.

Unreal Engine
Accelerator Experience
Every Fall E2 Weekend includes an Unreal Engine Accelerator Experience. Educators from across the state are invited to campus to learn high-tech skills used in Unreal Engine – one of the premier game development
programs.
Spartan Clash
Featuring Fortnite
Every E2 Weekend consists of a Spartan Clash featuring either Rocket League or Fortnite – two very popular games created by Epic Games. Students from high schools and colleges across North Carolina are invited to participate. This draws in families from the mountains to the coast.
UNCG UEFN Game Jam
Every Spring E2 Weekend includes an Unreal Editor for Fortnite Game Jam. In this event, students compete during a weekend to see who can make the best game. The students are doing this in a very short amount of time, so it is quite the achievement! We also host an Esports Career and Entrepreneurship Summit in the Spring and invite professionals from the esports and gaming industries to talk to individuals interested in those industries.
