As the founder of GAME (Game Athletics Multimedia and Design), I embarked on a mission to fill a gap in our academic community. Recognizing the need for an organization to support Academic Esports students and enhance social events with a gaming focus, I set out to establish a platform that would provide opportunities for skill development and networking.

Purpose: GAME serves as a hub for social and academic interests of Academic Esports students and others in the Faculty of Engineering and Science at UiA in Grimstad. Our aim is to enrich the educational experience, foster representation, and offer avenues for personal and professional growth.

Mission Statement: Our mission is to organize events that allow members and fellow students to develop skills and knowledge relevant to their future pursuits. We facilitate networking opportunities, connecting students with potential employers or collaborators. Our events range from esports competitions to multimedia showcases and social gatherings.

Establishing GAME was a journey filled with invaluable lessons. From navigating bureaucratic hurdles to managing the organization’s operations, I gained firsthand experience in leadership, teamwork, and resilience. This endeavor taught me to navigate both successes and setbacks, shaping me into a more adept and adaptable individual.
