DESCRIPTION: "Data-Driven Gaming: Moving Towards an Esports Analytics Platf
 orm" - Ian Simpson \n\n Details: In this presentation\, I'll walk you thro
 ugh the development of an interactive leaderboard for my school's Esports 
 club\, showcasing how I addressed the challenge of responsive performance 
 tracking. I'll cover the technical aspects of integrating with APIs\, effi
 cient data management\, and interactive front-end design. You'll learn abo
 ut the hurdles faced in handling live game data\, solutions implemented\, 
 and key considerations in database design and API integration. \n\n I'll s
 hare insights gained during the development\, as well as discuss the broad
 er implications of this project for student engagement in STEM and its pot
 ential adaptations for other educational contexts. Whether you're a develo
 per\, educator\, or gaming enthusiast\, you'll gain practical knowledge on
  combining APIs\, databases\, and web development to create impactful tool
 s for educational communities. \n\n Bio: Ian Simpson is currently Principa

 es of experience in computing education in schools and colleges to his rol
 e. Always a programmer at heart\, he has successfully implemented project-
 based learning in computing curricula\, including the creation of interact
 ive teaching aids and software to support national curriculum planning. Ia
