ITQ GmbH<\/strong> opened its doors to 16 young pupils<\/strong> on April 27<\/strong>, for the annual Girls’ Day 2023<\/strong>. The goal was to get the girls \u2013 between the age of 10 and 16 years<\/strong> \u2013 excited about the working world of Engineers. We asked the kids at the beginning of the day: “Is technology fun?”<\/strong>. About half of the girls answered quite hesitantly, “Yes, I think so.”<\/p>\n

We started the day with a short presentation about ITQ and the girls gained first insights into the world of Software and Systems Engineering. <\/strong>After the “theory part” the girls took a tour around our ITQ office. During this tour, they learned about the cool Education 4.0<\/strong> projects<\/strong>, such as the robot-controlled ice cream machine, the Fwip Ice Demonstrator<\/a>,<\/strong> and the accurate dartboard, Mi5 Dartboard<\/strong><\/a>. After some ice cream, it was then a matter of grasping the technology with their own hands. With the help of LEGO Coaches<\/strong>, the girls got their first taste of programming<\/strong> the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 systems<\/strong> <\/a>and steering the little robots over paint lines and barriers.<\/p>\n

Towards the end, the girls agreed that “Technology is Fun”<\/strong><\/a> was definitely true on this Girls’ Day!<\/p>\n

We are proud to have inspired the young girls for the engineering profession and look forward to more successful Girls’ Day events in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>
