For girls - "Wake up the ClicBot brain"

[Translate to English:] Man sieht eine junge Frau und einen Roboter

The Faculty of Computer Science presents the ClicBot workshops - your ultimate robotics experience!

ClicBots are small, modular educational robots that can see, feel, hear, think and communicate with their environment. Bring your ClicBot to life and build your own characters: whether humanoid, with wheels or even a robot dog. The possibilities are almost endless.
With the accompanying graphics-based app, you can teach it all kinds of things. No matter how you train your ClicBot, it is the coolest robot you can imagine. There are (almost) no limits to your creativity!
Programme:
9.00 - 9.30am: Welcome and information, snacks and drinks
9.30 - 12.00 noon: Workshop: "Wake up the ClicBot brain"

Girls Day/Boys Day - take part free of charge (I13860)

The Faculty of Business Information Systems takes you behind the scenes of text-based language models such as ChatGPT

Going swimming or planning a bike tour? We create our perfect vacation weather.
Using a learning environment, we show how these models work and how they can be used to create the perfect vacation weather, for example. It's a great opportunity to learn more about the technology behind these models and see them in action.

We look forward to receiving your registration!

For boys - Experience AI in 3 lessons

We dive into the fascinating world of media informatics!

We discover how artificial intelligence can inspire our creative side and how diverse its applications are in art and the visual field. Using example applications, we will use AI in the creative environment as well as in machine vision.
Together we'll discuss how AI could have both positive and negative effects on our society.
Bring your ideas and let your creativity run wild in this exciting workshop!
