‘Girls in IT professions? Definitely!’
TU Darmstadt took part in Girls' Day again in 2025
2025/04/14
On 3 April, it was that time again: the University Computing Centre and the IT Training Coordination offered interested schoolgirls exciting insights into some STEM professions.
Twelve schoolgirls in grades 5 to 7 were given the opportunity to get a taste of various IT professions at TU Darmstadt as part of Girls' Day. In total, around 300 schoolgirls were guests in many areas of TU Darmstadt on this day.
With the active support of trainees Maria Ruppert, Emil Brücher-Herpel, Luisa Lutsch, Jacqueline Steffen and Lars Schulze-Falk as well as HRZ employees, the IT training coordinator introduced them to the IT professions of IT specialist and IT systems electronics technician in a fun and exploratory way. In addition to a tour of the server room, the students were able to familiarise themselves with the inner workings of a computer and tinker with a small programming task. They also created an electric circuit using modelling clay and learnt how to connect cables by crimping them together.
The next Girls' Day will take place on 23 April 2026. We are already looking forward to welcoming motivated schoolgirls again on this day and getting them excited about IT careers!
