Computer scientists are technology nerds, always sitting in dark basement rooms and only playing computer games. And anyways, computer science is not for girls.
Really?
We want to do away with prejudices and in the context of the Science Camp we want to show that computer science has many facets and that none of it is typically male. Today, computer science is used in almost all areas of life. Whether in medicine, the automotive industry, film or communication, computer science does not mean dealing exclusively with computers. Not the machine, but the design and optimization of work processes is the focus of attention as an essential task.
In the five days during the Science Camp we will program a simple web application that will show you that computer science is very practice-oriented and on top of that it is fun. In addition, we will visit various companies and introduce you to the exciting fields of work of female computer scientists.
