May 2026: Scientific Section “Digital Games for Promoting Financial Literacy” at the INVENTIO 2026 Student Conference

On 30 May, within the framework of the student scientific conference INVENTIO 2026, the scientific section “Digital Games for Promoting Financial Literacy” took place. During the section, students presented prototypes of digital games aimed at promoting the concept of financial literacy, as well as deepening practical knowledge about investments, financial risks, pension funds, and other important aspects of financial literacy. The game prototypes were developed with the aim of attracting the attention of different generations and fostering interest in financial literacy topics.

The student works were evaluated by a jury consisting of EKA guest lecturer Andrejs Birzgals, Director of the EKA study programme “Computer Game Design and Graphics” Anete Bērza, as well as invited financial literacy specialists: Aiga Rullere, representative of Latvijas Banka; Inta Buša, representative of the Investors’ Club; and financial investment coach Jeļena Miltuze.

The best game prototype award was granted to EKA students Vladislavs Malenkovs and Viktorija Koposova for their game prototype “Family Debt”, developed under the supervision of Andris Aleksandrs Priedītis.
