Computer science can be found in many areas today: for example, in computer games and search engines, or deeply embedded in vehicles or medical technology devices. The various activities in IT professions are correspondingly diverse. In the computer science workshop on June 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., pupils will gain realistic insights into practical applications and scientific research fields in computer science. They will also be able to try things out for themselves in various workshops: For example, they can build a circuit that allows them to record their own heartbeats using their cell phones. They learn how vehicles find their way autonomously, i.e. without a driver, they find out how the Internet determines the fastest route to the recipient when delivering parcels and they go in search of clues in the world of big data.

In discussions with scientists and students at TU Ilmenau, the girls and boys will learn how varied and fascinating the degree courses in computer science , computer engineering , biomedical engineering and technical cybernetics and systems theory are.

Parents who would like to accompany their children are very welcome at the parents’ café. Competent discussion partners from the Faculty of Computer Science and Automation are available here to explain everything about studying and living in Ilmenau.
