Esports Camps, UCI Esports & Riot Games Team Up for Girls in Gaming
San Anselmo, CA — March 26, 2019: Esports Camps has partnered with UCI Esports and Riot Games for a special event for girls in gaming. This free event will provide a comprehensive overview of the esports industry and will feature guest speakers from Riot Games, UCI Esports and other top industry professionals. The goal of the event is to introduce high school aged girls to the many facets of the growing esports ecosystem which include: competitive gaming, game design, college prep, game marketing and much more.
“We are thrilled to open up the Riot Games campus to educate and help inspire the next generation of female gamers. The esports landscape is changing rapidly; it will be a treat for us to share some of the ways in which we think about and work within this evolving space,” says Program Manager at Riot Games, Dennis Murphy.
Riot Games’ League of Legends changed the face of esports through its influence on the creation of organized competitive leagues at the professional, college, and now high school level. Similarly, UCI’s early embrace of esports and devotion of resources towards building one of the nation’s leading programs and facilities has significantly buttressed the growth of esports, especially for student-athletes seeking to marry collegiate gaming aspirations with academic opportunity. Combining these two industry trailblazers to shed light on the esports industry will be an incredible opportunity for esports fans.
Kathy Chiang, Assistant Director at UCI Esports adds: “Actively creating opportunities and a healthy environment for women in esports needs to be a top priority. We are excited to contribute to this camp and work with some amazing young women as they consider a future in the games industry. If we want our players and leadership to reflect the larger gaming community, it is essential to build a diverse pipeline of esports talent.”
“What a special opportunity for the high school aged esports participants of the Southern California region,” says Justin Hoeveler, Founder of Esports Camps. “It’s been a pleasure to help design this event with UCI; the goal of furthering the education of young girls about everything esports is an important step towards building full participation in each facet of this growing industry.”
