Join us for an insightful conversation with the amazing Sam Wright, aka, @TechGirlZA , a prominent voice in the gaming and tech community! 🎮✨
In this video, we cover a range of thought-provoking topics, including:
The Evolution of Esports: Gain Sam's perspective on the growth of esports in South Africa compared to other regions. We explore the unique challenges and exciting opportunities faced by the African gaming scene.
Gamification in Education: We focus on how gamification in schools can motivate children to engage in learning. Sam discusses the difficulties in implementing these initiatives in South Africa due to budget constraints.
Esports and Mental Health: We take a closer look at the mental health challenges faced by children and adults in general. We discuss the impacts of gaming on mental well-being, including the positive and negative effects, especially in light of the COVID lockdown and its repercussions on today’s youth.
Parents play a huge role in a child's gaming journey, whether casual or professional. It's an experience you should share with your children, rather than using games as a babysitter. Find out why you should not let your 6- or 7-year-old play Fortnite. Hear it first-hand from the professional.
With her background in tech and gaming, Sam shares insights on how esports can enhance the educational experience. Discover how gamification can motivate students to perform better in school and foster essential skills for young aspiring gamers and industry professionals. However, it can also have the opposite effect if not managed properly by parents.
Sponsorships and Business Dynamics: Get an inside look at the business side of esports, particularly how sponsorships and brand partnerships contribute to industry growth. Sam shares valuable advice for gamers looking to attract sponsorships.
Advice for Aspiring Gamers and Presenters: For anyone dreaming of breaking into the esports scene or becoming a gaming presenter, @TechGirlZA offers practical tips and strategies to help you succeed.
This engaging conversation provides a well-rounded view of the impact of gaming in society, the evolving esports landscape, and the journey of aspiring gamers. Whether you’re a casual viewer or passionately involved in gaming, there’s something here for everyone!
