Middle School E-Sports

The Middle School eSports camp will focus on the art of gaming and a few of the various games currently being played in a competitive league. We will look at a number of competitive games like Smash Brothers and Rocket League. We will have a Rocket League Grand Champion currently playing for Chaminade come in and explain techniques and tricks he uses to get better at the game and compete at a high level. We will also chat with former competitive gamers and discuss what the future holds for competitive gaming and live streaming games. When it comes to the art of gaming, we will look at creating artistic but fair levels in games like Mario, and discuss and what it is that makes a game fun, popular, and/or successful in today’s competitive video game market. A number of these discussed games will be watched on video and played in class to grasp the basics and look for similarities, tricks and ultimately get some exposure to different genres and concepts seen in the world of gaming today. If students have a Nintendo Switch and/or an Xbox or Playstation controller, it will be helpful to bring them to class. Students will also have access to a gaming PC.
