Computer Science Day 2024: Students develop concepts for virtual influencers
2024-08-29 Lüneburg. On September 5, the Lüneburg Forum for Computer Science in Schools (LÜFINS) is organizing the Day of Computer Science at Leuphana University Lüneburg. 120 pupils in grades 8 to 13 from 10 schools will be able to "try out computer science" in various workshops.
The business informatics specialists at Leuphana have put together an interesting program. The young people will take part in five workshops on topics including web design, programming and app development. One team competition is about virtual influencers. These are digitally created artificial figures that appeal to the public on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube with the help of artificial intelligence. The imaginary figures are intended to have a positive influence on overcoming social challenges.
Leuphana is not only committed to the next generation of computer scientists on Computer Science Day: it is also committed to the digital empowerment of young people in the Data Club Lüneburg. This joint project, coordinated by Leuphana, brings together players in computer science education with young people, offers school concepts and aims to give young people an easy introduction to the world of IT.
NOTE FOR EDITORS:
The Computer Science Day will take place from 8.30 a.m. - 3.30 p.m. on the Universitätsallee campus of Leuphana. We cordially invite you to visit the event and report on the students' experiences. The workshop results will be presented from 3 - 3.30 pm in lecture hall 3.
