This camp is designed to show students the professional ecosystem behind the screen,
focusing on technical hardware, production, and leadership.
-
Computer Building & Hardware: A hands-on deep dive into the "guts" of a gaming PC. Students will learn to identify
components like the CPU, GPU, and RAM, practice safe installation, and learn basic
troubleshooting for common hardware issues.

Software), manage stream overlays, and practice the fundamentals of shoutcasting and
technical directing for live matches.

strategies, and how to manage team communication and player psychology during high-pressure
collegiate-level play.
