Fundings:

With the Vienna Informatics Living Lab, the Faculty of Informatics at TU Wien establishes an interface to schools and builds a systematic offer from autumn 2018 onwards: School classes and teachers may take part in free, didactically coordinated workshops on current and diverse IT topics. As the first stage of expansion, the permanent exhibition "Abenteuer Informatik" is installed on Campus Favoritenstraße. 40 exhibition panels with 20 experimental stations make exciting topics such as binary representation, efficient algorithms and limits of computability an interactive and hands-on experience. In the current project, target-group-oriented workshops are developed, supporting educational material is prepared, and a stakeholder network is established. The lab provides important technical impulses for the youth, allows low-threshold access to TU Wien, and conveys informatics as forward-looking, exciting and diverse. It arouses enthusiasm, curiosity and interest - in girls and boys alike.
