Description

Uniting Students with UNITE

We at Wooga would like to encourage and strengthen the presence of women in engineering, especially in the games industry. To this end, we are excited to bring back for a second time our Wooga Educational Expedition scholarship. We will be sending 5 students to UNITE Berlin (19 - 21 June 2018) including the coverage of transportation costs and an exciting extracurricular program to complement the conference!


Unity is the world’s leading game engine for cross-platform game development, which we’re also using at Wooga to build all of our games. With this scholarship we hope to help women grow their network within the industry, showcase their projects and have a smooth transition into work life.
