On April 3rd, 2025, our department once again welcomed schoolgirls to the Informatikum for Girls' Day—a nationwide initiative aimed at introducing young women to the world of computer science. The day kicked off with an engaging lecture in the Konrad-Zuse lecture hall, followed by hands-on project sessions in small groups, where participants explored computer science through playful and interactive tasks.
Our research group contributed with a live demonstration by Dennis Becker and Connor Gäde featuring our humanoid robot NICO. The girls got the chance to play the Chef’s Hat card game with NICO and learn how robots perceive and interact with the world. We hope to see many of them again in the future as the next generation of computer scientists!
