Anamayo Awasthi

Student

Anamayo Awasthi, like any other 14 year old, lives life on the internet. But unlike other 14 year olds who spend most of their time on social media, he spends his time studying how games are structured, what inspires game developers and how games are a window to the world outside our living rooms. In his recent trip to the US as a part of the Scouts and Guides Jamboree, Anamayo realised that gamers all over the world speak the same language and understand each other's culture better, regardless of their age and origins. Inspired by that, he is here to make a strong case about gaming, and how games are basically a simulation to learn real life skills.
