Cybersecurity, programming with Python and MATLAB, building robots, programming sensors and learning to speak freely – Positive outcome of the informatica feminale BW at the University of Freiburg
"Highly qualified lecturers on equal footing, great exchange at every corner," is how one participant describes what she particularly liked about the Summer School Informatica Feminale Baden-Württemberg.
Rund 110 Studentinnen und Fachfrauen vor allem aus der Informatik nahmen vom 30.07. bis 03.08.2024 an 17 aktuellen Fach- und Social-Skill-Kursen teil.
Neben den teils mehrtägigen Kursen fanden mehrere Talk-Runden und Workshops statt. Darin erfuhren die Teilnehmerinnen unter anderem die „Magie von Feedback“ und wie man sich im Bewerbungsprozess selbst vermarktet. Im Summer Tech Talk mit der SICK AG gewährten engagierte Tech-Frauen Einblick in ihren Werdegang beim Sensorenhersteller aus Waldkirch.

Fun after a hard days work
The educational program was rounded off with a myriad of supporting social programs that included plenty of fun: At the Charleston taster session, the women were able to hit the dance floor and at "IT creative" they were able to try their hand at acrylic painting. The networking evening was not the only opportunity for the participants to network. New contacts were also made and existing ones strengthened in a relaxed atmosphere in the event's own pop-up cafeteria.
The participants were enthusiastic about the courses and supporting social program, and many of them have made firm plans to attend again next time. Next year, informatica feminale BW will take place for the 25th time, and the responsible network Frauen.Innovation.Technik will also be celebrating its 25th anniversary.
After the Summer School is before the Winter School
Preparations are already underway for the meccanica feminale - the counterpart for female students and professionals, particularly from the fields of engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and medical technology. The Winter School will take place at the University of Stuttgart from February 18 to 22, 2025. Both university weeks by women for women are organized by the Frauen.Innovation.Technik network based at Furtwangen University. The events take place on behalf of and with the financial support of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
