I am currently working on confirming a special guest for our Oct. 1 meeting. Ray Tan is the founder of E-Sports Initiative, a charitable organization under the College of Engineering. This organization frequently runs competitive video game tournaments for games such as Super Smash Bros. and League of Legends as fundraisers to donate to various local charities, including Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Ray approached Jesse Fox to find out more about the kind of research we do and offer access to this population of skilled gamers for data collection. Jesse directed him to our group.
I know some of you have mentioned research ideas involving games such as these; this is a great opportunity to find out about what this population of gamers is doing and how they can help our research.
