Held at the end of June and the beginning of July, the University of Kentucky's Camp Kiki brought together area teens for five days of esports and education. Led by Kishonna Gray, associated professor of Writing, Rhetoric and Digital Studies, the camp let teens explore such games as League of Legends as well as live-action role-playing games and University of Kentucky online archives that reveal the history of the Lexington community.
"We wanted to get resources to the community, and we wanted to build bridges and connections between the university as an institution and the local communities, especially the under resourced communities," she said.
