Earlier this month I talked with J Collins, a leader in the academic eSports space, about developing eSports programming at the high school where they teach as well as creating the model for programs nation-wide. In this episode, I interview some of J's students and other high schoolers who competed in the Ohio eSports tournament earlier this year. We talk about what eSports in school means to them, what they wish the wider world knew about their experience, and what their aspirations are as they prepare for the transition to post-high school life.
