Code:
Electronic and robotic projects
Cooking and baking full recipes from scratch
Creative writing
Video editing
Photo editing
Programming and coding
Software and game development
Web development
Building custom PCs
So creative is more for the creating part of the season.
However, the fact the the partnership between FIRST and Twitch seems to be growing (since they are hosting the kickoff broadcast and had the Championship live stream hosted for 2016-and wasn even put on the front page) makes me hopeful they will either clarify under what section competitions can be streamed in or create an additional one that fits them.
At the same time I know the New England FIRST has two accounts and has been streaming their competitions on Twitch for at least 2 years which is why I made the picking and choosing comment. Now that they are opening up beyond just gaming(again) I think they will definitely try to accommodate the FIRST community and our traffic. |
RoboSports Network (formerly GameSense) has been working with Twitch over the past year to help find a home for FIRST on Twitch. The Creative team at Twitch is very excited about FIRST, as it falls broadly in the same arena as the "Maker Movement" (ie, MakerFaire, cool tech stuff and hobbyist). While the competitions don't necessarily have the same direct link to creating things like robot-building does, continuity is important and it's still all part of the same process. I can't officially speak for Twitch, but from our communications, they're intending for Twitch Creative to be our home in the Twitch Community.
