Workshops for pupils

In order to attract more students, the WIAI Faculty has been offering regular workshops for pupils of different age groups since 2005.

The programs are very popular and have helped more than 600 students to discover their talents for computer science:

  • BIT – Bamberger Informatik Tag: A whole day full of workshops to inform and try out for pupils from elementary school to high school
  • MUT – M?dchen und Technik: Workshops especially for girls of all school types from 10-14 years
  • Girls'Day: Workshops especially for girls of secondary schools from grade 8
  • I4Kids: Workshops for pre-school and primary school children
  • make IT: Pupils of Q11 experience computer science courses at the Faculty WIAI supported by student mentors

The faculty does not have a budget available for the application and implementation of the different workshops. The supervision of the workshops is carried out on an honorary basis by the scientific staff of the Faculty WIAI.

In order to be able to continue the program to the usual extent and quality, the faculty is dependent on additional donations and sponsors. Of course, the supporting companies are mentioned on all advertising material of the workshops.
