Purpose
This is an ongoing PhD project where we are trying to develop three minigames oriented around helping esports players train in various “soft skills,” like teamwork and stress management.
We are looking for those who are willing and interested in testing the 2.0 versions of these minigames. We are academics, so we are also happy to collaborate with other researchers and students interested in this research area- there is potential space for a Bachelor’s thesis or perhaps even a Master’s thesis depending on your program.
