In the current winter semester, the bachelor’s programme in computer science at TU Braunschweig is the most popular. The subject has been one of the most sought-after in recent years. The subject is also becoming increasingly important in Niedersachsen’s schools: since the 2023/24 school year, computer science has been a compulsory subject from the tenth grade, and since the beginning of the current school year it has even been a compulsory subject from the ninth grade. Accordingly, there is great interest in the region in what TU Braunschweig has to offer.
The Computer Science Day provided an insight into the study of computer science, business informatics and information and systems technology. Topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics, system security, algorithms, computer graphics and medical informatics were presented in lectures and interactive demonstrations. Topics included ‘ChatGPT – How neural networks learn to chat’, ‘Does artificial intelligence really understand the ‘world’ and can it help us understand it?’, but also predicting extreme weather events, modern chip design and 3D drone footage in virtual reality. Students and teachers were also available for direct exchange
