The programme serves as a dynamic platform to explore game development in an educational
environment, blending learning and recreation. It also encourages collective work and enhances
team spirit, while cultivating entrepreneurial and creative thinking. Participants are encouraged to
develop innovative ideas and practical solutions that align with current market trends and
demands.

The camp is organised under the supervision of specialised trainers in game development, aiming
to enhance students’ skills in programming and project development aspects.

Mouza Al Nasri, Acting CEO of the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development, said, “The camp is
much more than just an educational programme, rather it aims to foster a dynamic environment
that contributes to enhancing creativity, developing technical skills, teamwork and entrepreneurial
thinking, while enabling participants to gain game development experience. Such an approach
empowers Emirati youth to hone their skills and develop innovative ideas. This further aligns with
our vision to promote innovation in Abu Dhabi, recognising its vital role in strengthening the small
and medium-sized enterprise ecosystem, especially within the realm of game development. The
camp will also prepare students for freelance and future career opportunities in the gaming sector.”

Since its launch in 2020, the summer camp has attracted the participation of 750 Emirati students
across its intensive training programmes. Participants were even awarded a prestigious training
certificate from Stanford University, reflecting the superior quality of the training.

The Khalifa Fund invites ambitious young minds to leverage this valuable opportunity and become a
part of an inspiring educational journey. Registrations are open for Emirati students aged 13 to 18,
and residing in Abu Dhabi, until 30th June 2025.
