Blending Esports and Education

I was invited to talk to both Mike and Chaya from Spark Launch Podcast about how we use gaming and esports to create overlooked opportunities for learning and connection. I shared some experiences how working with autistic people changed the way I understood communication, patience, and my own responsibility to adapt. We explore why dismissing a child’s interests can close off more than entertainment, how games can make learning accessible, and why supporting neurodivergent people means questioning the systems around them.
