Workshops for school classes

Discover Computer Science and Business Administration and Engineering

At HFU offer various workshops for upper secondary school classes, computer science courses or IT trainee classes. 
In our workshops we offer exciting robotics challenges, hacking demos and insights into the world of AI. Guided tours offer fascinating insights into our labs on campus.

A wide range of workshops can be booked as a package

We are happy to arrange individual appointments and recommend scheduling at least a half-day. This gives you enough time to get to grips with the practical part yourself. Guided tours provide exciting insights into laboratories and the campus, and we also offer short talks about  the computer science and business administraiton and engineering degree programmes. Depending on the time of day, participants are provided with a small snack or we eat together in the canteen.
