BMM Testlabs has welcomed Kordell Schrock as a paid summer intern, powered through BMM’s Next Generation Initiative and the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES).
This partnership between BMM and AISES promotes opportunities for indigenous students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programmes to work in a gaming laboratory and receive hands-on experience alongside BMM’s team of expert test engineers.
Schrock commented: “I am grateful for the opportunity to gain valuable and memorable work experience at BMM’s Las Vegas headquarters this summer. When I joined my university’s STEM Scholars learning community my top goal was to join the workforce in the gaming industry.
"I even identified BMM Testlabs as my dream internship when I created my first individualised development plan in May 2019. I look forward to performing statistical analysis of game probabilities, reviewing system source code and more with BMM’s expert team of test engineers.”
Schrock is a descendant of the Meskwaki Nation (Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa) and he is pursuing an undergraduate degree in computer science with a minor in data science from Iowa State University. The paid summer internship at BMM Testlabs will last for a duration of 10 weeks, beginning on June 1.
