About the programme
Geleceği Yazanlar is Turkcell's technology community. Its bootcamp programmes are free and run with one to one mentoring. Rysesoft teaches the game programming track, from zero to expertise.
Who Can Apply
Final year undergraduates, master's and doctoral students, and graduates of undergraduate or associate degree programmes can apply. You do not need to have written code before. The selection runs in steps, an online training, a general aptitude test, a technical test and an interview. Those who pass join the bootcamp.
What You Take Home
Every participant builds a complete, playable 3D game of their own that grows week by week. In the last four weeks teams of four to six work like a studio and release a team game on Steam. The programme closes with a Demo Day in front of a jury. Those who complete it earn a Turkcell certificate.
