WARRENSBURG, MO - Among the public television station professionals honored at a recent awards gala event in Arlington, VA was the production team for an episode of KMOS-TV鈥檚 original series in the category of Education/Schools. This episode featured an organization that promotes strong life skills for young students engaged in video games, and followed students competing in an Esports tournament.

In the program, series host Ray Walters introduced viewers to the founders of Ukatsu, a Columbia-based organization that works with kids and parents to connect with peers and learn life skills on- and off-line as they learn and hone their video game skills. Viewers were then taken inside an Esports tournament at the Midwest Clash at Columbia College. The episode was edited by Jacob Clark, one of many UCM students who apply their classroom lessons to real-world experience while working at KMOS-TV. This and other episodes of 鈥淲icked Awesome Stuff鈥� are available to view anytime on kmos.org.

Since the time this program was produced, UCM launched an Esports team to provide both a competitive outlet for current students and serve as a future recruitment tool. With about 100 higher education institutions nationally getting involved in Esports, UCM becomes the second public university in the state of Missouri to enter this arena, but the only comprehensive, regional institution of similar size and student population to establish such a program.

The series 鈥淲icked Awesome Stuff鈥� was created by KMOS to focus on new technologies and dynamic community events that viewers may not be able to attend. Among the stories covered by Ray and the producers was a suite of nursing-related technologies at the Missouri Innovation Campus (MIC) in Lee鈥檚 Summit, which is a collaborative effort of business partners, the Lee鈥檚 Summit R-7 School District, Metropolitan Community College and the 欧美视频.

In previous years KMOS has received NETA awards for: promotional video for 鈥淏est of Missouri Life Season 3鈥� (2019), a video profile of the National Churchill Museum in Fulton (2014), Special Event and Community Engagement based on the Event (2012 Kids Day), 鈥淛erry Adams Outdoors 鈥� Kiss the Fish Again鈥� (2011), 鈥淭he Bacon Brothers-Michael鈥檚 Revenge鈥� (2010). A full list of award recognitions is available at kmos.org.
