Girls’Day at Ubisoft Berlin On April 25th the nation-wide job-orientation day Girls’Day took place again and Ubisoft Berlin opened its doors for 20 aspiring game developers! How are games produced? What does a programmer do? How do artists work? What is on the table of a Designer? All these questions were answered when Ubisoft Berlin welcomed 20 girls aged 10-14 to give insight into the way we are making games. The day started at 10am with a short introduction to the company and the games industry followed by a full day packed with different workshops which consisted each of a theory and a practice part: Production, Game Design, Game Art, Programming. Divided into 2 groups, the girls were asked to create their own games and develop them further in the practice parts based on the respective theory. The interesting thing here: there were no working stations or laptops installed and the girls created their games, levels, props and characters the old-fashioned way with a whiteboard, crayons, paper sheets and glue. At the end they presented their game projects to the group and took home not only a polaroid of them with their teams but also a lot of laughter, great memories and most importantly: the first steps taken in their possible future career in game development. We thank all the girls who participated as well as the great team of Ubisoft Berlin mentors who made Girls’Day possible this year!

Develop at Ubisoft! On April 11th we celebrated with our mentees in Berlin who crossed the finish line of their 5 months mentoring program and presented their final project results! Jana and Stefanie participated in our latest edition of the Develop at Ubisoft mentoring program and worked each on their own programming project together with their mentors from Ubisoft Berlin, Jonathan and Daniel. The Develop at Ubisoft program is a mentorship opportunity for women and non-binary students and freshly graduated that offers insight into the game development areas Programming and Game Design. Applications are open around September/October and chosen mentees will be paired in a 1:1 combination with a Ubisoft expert from their respective fields. Over the course of the coming months the mentees will develop their own project – within the frame of a pre-chosen topic. In regular meetings with their mentors, the mentees can develop their project iteratively, get to know workflows of the industry, grow and learn. Jana and Stefanie, who both chose the “Escape & Space Exploration” topic did a great job on their projects and presented to us their stunning results on April 11th during the Closing Ceremony we had at Ubisoft Berlin studio. The ceremony was rounded off by doughnuts and some nice casual chats about their studies, the games industry and the mentees’ projects. Thanks a lot to everyone who participated and made the Develop at Ubisoft mentorship program a huge success for Ubisoft Berlin this year!
