At this year’s Girls’Day on April 23, 2026, 19 schoolgirls gained exciting insights into the world of Information Systems. 

Staff members from various areas of the department put together an engaging program: Following an informal icebreaker game to get to know each other, participants were introduced to the field of Information Systems and potential career paths. They then experienced how software development works firsthand in a LEGO Scrum workshop. A rallye across the Leonardo Campus also gave them the opportunity to explore the surroundings. 

A particular highlight was the programming course, where participants were able to gain their first hands-on experience with Scratch. In the subsequent quiz, they had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and discover further aspects of Information Systems. 

The day concluded with a joint lunch, where participants could also try out VR headsets. In this way, Information Systems was not only explained in an accessible way but also experienced firsthand. 

Girls’Day is a nationwide orientation day in Germany that enables girls from grade 5 onwards to explore professions and fields of study in which women are still underrepresented, particularly in technology, IT, skilled trades, and the natural sciences. The aim is to break down gender-based career stereotypes and open up new perspectives for the future.
