While still young, the Gaming Pathways have already produced videos from esports competitions, a lecture series, a Mayoral Press Conference, a rap video, and more. It also received both local and national press coverage.
To launch the new Gaming Pathways, we held a public lecture series in 2022 – composed of students, academics, and industry leads – about esports. Many of the videos from this series can be viewed below (and a free print compilation can be found here.)
