Comtrade Gaming, the premier technology
provider to the gaming industry, held its annual »EdIT«summer school for young, aspiring com- puter sciences students, an event that has been already running for 18 years.
EdIT is organized in three countries, Slovenia,
Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina across six locations with different topics chosen every year. The gaming focus this year was all about the development of Bingo game from scratch with the use of HTML5 technology.
The summer school is actually a full simulation of
a real project as participants must tackle the chal- lenges of teamwork, the project must be finished within a limited time with concrete results, and ultimately they have to present their solutions to a wider range of listeners and answer their ques- tions. For 15 participants this was a unique and also their first real life experience of how a large commercial project is accomplished, and the result depended only on them.
Aleš Gornjec, General Manager at Comtrade Gaming said: “Our corporate social responsibility

policy is mostly focused on opportunities for young people, thus EdIT is a perfect way to give them a chance to get to know the real world of business, to give them practical knowledge and to discover young talents and invite them to join our company. We are very proud that this year they have developed a fully featured mobile bingo game in just two weeks.”

Our goal back than was to offer a program where the winners of vari- ous programing and computer science competi- tions could also gain practical and team work knowledge. Over the years our summer school became opened to broad student population and this year was the 18th time we opened our doors for a 14-day long summer school for young, aspir- ing students.
