As part of their project week pupils spend a week with intensive work on an informatics project on our campus. This so-called Taster offers:

participation (no prior knowledge of informatics required) in a week-long informatics project,
participation in an informatics lecture,
personal encounters with academic staff, students and professional working computer scientists and
participation in project presentations and demonstrations

In addition to project work in groups of about 10 students lectures and individual counseling is offered. In addition, demonstrations of research topics and participation in a selected lecture and an overview of the study program is given by informatics students. The project tasks are programming, creating films, programming robots or creating a web application. Sign up and get more info at Taster Informatics
