This first of its kind camp is designed to empower the youth and enhance their skills in
technology and game development fields. Its training programme is divided into two distinct
pathways based on age. The first one, for those between the ages 13 to 15, aims to build a
strong foundation in programming and game development. The second, tailored for those
aged 16-18, offers the opportunity to explore advanced concepts in game development and
design.

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. Moreover, 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,
