Summer Week #9 July 22th - July 26th @ Octane Raceway Scottsdale
Masters: Super Smash Bros. eSports Strategy
Your favorite gaming icons go head-to-head in a battle on the Nintendo Switch! This camp uses the ever-popular game, Super Smash Bros., to introduce a critical and scientific approach to eSports success. How can programming knowledge influence game strategy? What's the best plan to maximize each character's strengths? How can teamwork and feedback help the group succeed? As members of an eSports group for the camp, students will devise, test and revise various game-playing strategies. Campers will build leadership and teamwork skills while playing a game they're sure to love!
We're pleased to continue our partnership with Octane Raceway Scottsdale! Every week, campers will learn about various fields of engineering and science, enjoy adrenaline-fueled laps around the racetrack, immerse themselves in Velocity VR's free-roaming virtual worlds, and make new friends with fellow future STEM innovators. Camp enrollment includes one daily campers-only kart race. Campers will also partake in weeklong arcade access, a VR gaming session, and a laser tag battle at our sister location Mavrix next-door. All of these attractions are fully included with the cost of camp! (Campers must be a minimum of 54" to take part in all planned activities.)
