The idea
A school sports season, but the sport is a game show
Schools
Detroit schools each send a team of students.
Game shows
Teams face off in trivia, brain games, and silly physical challenges.
Livestream
Every competition is streamed live and free, so families and the city can watch.
How it works
Four steps
- 1
Schools sign up
A school joins the league and picks a staff lead.
- 2
Students form teams
Each school puts together a group of students to compete.
- 3
Teams compete live
School vs school game shows, streamed for the whole city.
- 4
The money goes back
Sponsor money and donations go to the students who play and to their school.
Where the money comes from
Local businesses and the community
Business sponsors
Local businesses sponsor games, teams, or a whole season. Their name is on the stream, the scoreboard, and the website.
Donations
Viewers, parents, alumni, and neighbors donate during the livestream and on the website. Donations show up live on screen.
Where the money goes
Back to the students and their schools

The students who compete
Their school
The students who show up and play earn money for themselves. Their school gets funding too.
The second competition
The school donation race
Off the stage, schools also compete to raise the most. A live leaderboard tracks which school's community gives the most, all season long.
Example only. It gets alumni, parents, and neighborhoods rallying behind their school.
Students run the show
Real production jobs, on a real live broadcast
Students who aren't competing help produce the stream. They learn media skills by doing them live.
Camera
Run cameras on the floor and in the crowd.
Switching
Cut between shots live, like a TV control room.
Graphics
Run scoreboards, lower thirds, and donation trackers.
Audio
Mic the host and players, run music and sound cues.
Social
Clip highlights and post them while the show is on.
Stage crew
Set up each game, reset props, keep the show on time.
