FUEGOSTICKA

Today, Gaming plays a significant role in the computer industry and is developing its demand day by day. "Fuegosticka" was an opportunity for youth to get a flavor of advanced computer games and be knowledgeable on latest technologies that are being used all over the world.

Approximately, 100 local technical undergraduates, in groups of five members, were the target crowd. Delegates were trained on newest game development platforms, how to pitch an idea and how to market the final product by the industry experts. According to that, groups were asked to develop their own mobile game application and finally the best application was selected and presented to the industry.

15 interns from 5 different countries, Egypt, India, Brazil, Hong Kong and China acted as mentors and followed up on the group's progress in order to assist them in enhancing their development and marketing skills. Furthermore, having foreign interns throughout the event added the colours of universal harmony while being an effort to expose Sri Lankan youth to the international community.

EYE (English for Young Enthusiasts)

Though local school English educational curriculum consists with various activities and other exercises, in terms of English speaking fluency, many local students are not up to the expected level. Creating an English speaking environment within local school classrooms should be accompanied with soft skills, personal skills and communication skills development since they are essential to build up the confidence among school population.

Under EYE, (English for Young Enthusiasts) AIESEC Colombo South mainly addressed the above objectives with 7 foreign Exchange Participants representing China and Bahrain, using a curriculum designed by local universities. Under the designed session series, around 1000 school children in Kalutara District were directly approached and were benefited in three schools.

1. Panadura Balika Maha Vidyalaya

2. Mahanama Vidyalaya

3. St. Anthonies College

Due to this positive impact, AIESEC Colombo South was requested to carry out further steps of the project in coming future.
