For esports and gaming, the challenges you’ll be tasked with are around building better systems for players with disabilities, better video capture for multiple stations, creating a point of view (POV) platform to be better able to see players reactions, and building a live production platform for “streamer’s” needs. 

For Music, create a simple, user-friendly application for remote music writing sessions. 

The specific challenge details are listed in the Resources section.
