During the AISES National Conference last month, AISES was pleased to include two incredible panels focused on esports and video games and their economic, social, and cultural impact in Indian Country. If you missed the panels, they can be found here:

The Video Gaming and Esports Ecosystem: This panel discusses the structure of the esports and video game industries, the different types of jobs available (both STEM and non-STEM) and the skills involved.

The Benefits of the Video Gaming and Esports Industry for Indian Country: This panel discusses the many benefits that video games and esports, both playing them and working in them, can provide to the American Indian community.

The members of the panels were thrilled to be a part of the conference and share their knowledge and expertise with many attendees. The conversations during the panels were engaging and it's clear that AISES has gamers in its membership! In partnership with our panelists, AISES is interested in further developing its program offerings related to the esports and video game industries and needs your input.
