On Wednesday, July 19, and Thursday, July 20, the Suwannee Middle School (SMS) esports team and the Sunshine State Esports League (SSEL), run by Suwannee Middle School (SMS) teacher Tammy Neil, made waves at the Southern Regional Education Board Making Schools Work Conference.
The setup for the event actually began on Tuesday, July 18. The SSEL joined forces with a Full Sail University team to begin setup. The Full Sail University team generously provided the equipment the students would need for the gaming eshow. They turned a regular conference room into an esports arena for the ensuing two days of eshow events.
