Ever thought of becoming a YouTube superstar in the eSports scene? Have you wondered how YouTubers and other online content creators keep delivering quality content in light of ever-evolving trends and volatile audience preferences? Learn the tricks of the trade from Andrew ‘Sombrero’ Philippou, a hobbyist Twitch streamer with over 25,000 followers! His latest (and very cray) achievement was taking out 21 players in a single PUBG game. That’s mad bruh! Talking about big dreams, Sombrero’s campaign objective is to see eSports grow to a point where it will be considered professional enough for non-endemic sponsors to invest in continuously. A hardcore fan of eSports himself, Sombrero knows the art of enticing people lies in compelling visuals. He likes nothing more than conjuring up novel and creative ways to market products to fans that goes beyond pasting a logo on a shirt or an overlay on a tournament stream.

Are you a working professional by the day and a closet gamer by the night? If the answer is yes, you’ll be delighted to know that you’re not alone; there’s such a closely-knitted network for you to search for gaming khakis! Known as the Singapore’s Cybersports & Online Gaming Association (SCOGA), the community was founded by a group of enthusiastic gamers and leaders who strived to make a difference in the local gaming scene. The group regularly runs initiatives such as cyber wellness and digital literacy programmes, which are designed so that youth would be equipped with skills to sniff out online scams and be aware about the potential threats of obsessive gaming. For those who are considering to be a professional eSports player in the long haul, you’ll be interested in what The eSports Academy has to offer – paving a career path for Singapore gaming enthusiasts by providing training in various aspects of eSports, peak performance and soft skills, as well as engaging youths through game festivals, events and academy programmes. To-date, they have hosted trainings for more than 2,000 budding young gamers and events that saw over 50,000 youths! For the cynics out there, one of their academy trainees had recently drew in more than 4,000 total views per session, and is climbing his way up to be the next top competitive eSports Singaporean player to win over US$1 million in prize money. If these figures are boggling your mind now, join us as Campusero to learn about how you can make your mark in this long-overlooked industry!

If you can’t choose between the arts and the sciences, you’ll be happy to know that it’s entirely possible to marry these two seemingly irreconcilable disciplines to give birth to something wildly novel and exciting! Just look at Eugene Soh: he may be a dude from Singapore, but he’s not ‘just another dude’–this dude’s a computer programmer, designer and an accidental artist. Thanks to his iconic reimagination of Da VInci’s Renaissance painting The Last Supper in a modern hawker centre setting, he rose to social media stardom overnight. His over-the-top mix (aka rojak-making) of such vastly different cultures through his photography and Photoshop skills is on point. What’s more, this dude had also programmed his own VR game named Puppy Poop Run, a legit multiplayer version of Snake. Come and learn from this delightfully dynamic individual as he shows you the most convenient and cheapest way for you to enjoy the world’s VR content, including his own. Eugene will also share about how he uses VR and code to weave a compelling story—now you know how art and science can be best buddies!
