As we prepare for Demo Day this Saturday, where our talented youth will showcase the innovative apps they’ve developed, we want to extend our deepest thanks to the entire Riot Games team, especially Sue-Min. Your support, guidance, and dedication have been instrumental in shaping these young minds and helping them find mentors who will continue to inspire and guide them in their future endeavors.
