Where to take school students to get acquainted with game dev technologies?

Tell me if you have experience of communicating with Russian companies that develop games for mobile platforms that would agree to conduct an introductory tour in their company. It is "live", on the spot.
The purpose of such an excursion is to motivate a part of the schoolchildren to learn programming, design, scripting, and so on, so that they see what the process of creating their games is from the inside, so to speak. Modern teenagers quickly lose interest if impressions of good things are not fixed in their minds. And they lose this interest in computer science lessons at school forever, as a rule. It is at the "transitional" age that good impressions about development in general should be "imprinted into the core" so that this serves as a motive for studying the basics in all related areas. They will get the best experience from interacting with real developers, seeing how their favorite games are created live.
If there are representatives of such companies here, please let me know.
ps I really, really ask you not to give answers that imply only the thought of the author of the answer i dont give af*ck. The question for me is very important, personal and serious.
Thank you very much in advance.

Are you sure that this will be the motivation? Well, except for the joy of office goodies. Usually, shkolota already has a lot of pink glasses, and they have to be broken. And then they think that everything is easy and fast in game development ...

You know, I’m far from being a game developer, but just a completely beginner of various game design, I study everything, if possible and in my mood, from banal programming in python to modeling in a blender, and now I know all this at the level of “well, something like But, when the mood is still there, which is extremely small, little by little I write some kind of document for a very large project. I don’t know why and for whom, but I just like working with game ideas, considering some details, calculating balance and so on, again, everything is only for myself, I hope so far .. And I understand that work in some to any game office (I just don’t mean a browser-farmmodel factory, but a more worthwhile company that produces some kind of AAA, for example, or a little less ... it doesn’t matter which, at least, many have heard of games that do not make me sick) will not be distinguished by a decrease in the amount of monotonous work compared to my current position as a manager-laborer-enikey worker in a small manufacturing company. But I just love this idea of ​​creating some kind of world that you share with a potential player, expecting to see some kind of emotion. In general, my childhood consisted of shogi and sonic, and how many sheets were painted, only "designing" my levels, as well as levels for other games and, in general, only labyrinths of all stripes ... expecting to see some emotion.

In general, what I want to suggest. Maybe instead of an office with dull faces of programmers and designers staring at monitors, play something lamp-like with the children, where they will have to come up with and offer ideas along the way, what would they change, what to add, or also draw some kind of their own level ? And after that it will all smoothly turn into "do you know how it's done, but do you want to know?" etc. The main thing, I think, is not to frighten away the reality of this world, but to arouse interest ...

If the issue is so important and serious for you, then the city should appear in it. You type this city into Google along with words like "mobile game development". Further - letters, calls and excursion.
