July 27th, 28th, and 29th, the UPIKE E-Sports program, the UPIKE Kentucky College of Optometry and the Holler hosted the E-Sports and Vision Science Academy. Eight students learned valuable skills in not only how to set up a professional Twitch stream but the science of vision and how that relates to gaming. The students set up and ran their own full Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U tournament published live through Twitch.
