BMM Testlabs, the worldߣs original gaming test lab and product certification consultancy, is pleased to welcome Kordell Schrock as a paid summer intern, powered through BMMߣs Next Generation Initiative and the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES). This partnership between BMM and AISES promotes opportunities for indigenous students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs to work in a gaming laboratory and receive hands-on experience alongside BMMߣs team of expert test engineers.
Kordell Schrock, Engineering Intern, commented,:I am grateful for the opportunity to gain valuable and memorable work experience at BMMߣs Las Vegas headquarters this summer. When I joined my universityߣs 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 individualized development plan in May 2019. I look forward to performing statistical analysis of game probabilities, reviewing system source code, and more with BMMߣs 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. He has previous internship experience with Workday, the National Security Agency (NSA), and a research fellowship at Stanford University.

BMM Testlabs Partners with AISES for Paid Summer Internship Opportunities for Tribal Students
BMM Testlabs is pleased to announce that applicants for the summer 2023 tribal gaming internship program, powered through the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), will be selected in the upcoming weeks. BMM Testlabs looks forward to welcoming paid STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) interns into its laboratory to receive hands-on experience assessing gaming technology integrity, accountability, functionality and more with BMM Testlabs’ expert team of test engineers.
BMM Testlabs’ internship program is part of the company’s Next Generation Initiative, where BMM gives back to tribal communities by presenting opportunities in tribal gaming for hard-working indigenous students.
BMM Testlabs received applications from many qualified students through the AISES internship portal. Applicants include students that are pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees in computer science, computer engineering, computer programming, electrical engineering and more. The selected intern(s) will have the opportunity to perform statistical analysis of gaming devices and game probabilities, review gaming devices and system source code, assist with the development of testing procedure and more at BMM Testlabs’ Las Vegas headquarters.
“I applied for the BMM Testlabs’ internship to see a different side of the technology world and experience working in a billion-dollar industry,” Rachel Wilson, former BMM Testlabs summer intern, said. “During my internship I learned about the gaming industry, the extensive testing process and just how many moving parts go into getting one game onto a casino floor. This experience allowed me to develop into a well-rounded student with a wide variety of experience. Now, I have graduated from college with a degree in computer science and management. My internship at BMM Testlabs helped me achieve my professional goals and I recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about the gaming industry.”
BMM Testlabs is currently assessing candidates for summer 2023 paid internships and looks forward to welcoming the selected intern(s) soon.
