<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n“We know from the workshops and apprentice hackathons that it’s about much more than programming codes,” says Bernd Buchinger, a consultant from the WK\u00d6’s education policy department. “It’s about developing computational thinking. First and foremost, we need creative ideas for apps and programs, knowledge of how algorithms work and how product design can be optimised for users.”<\/p>\n
Sparking enthusiasm<\/h2>\n
The educators are also convinced of this – because they do not yet see user-friendly learning programmes as a matter of course. “For companies, a workshop like this is actually the best quality control. They get very honest and direct feedback from their target group and whether their programmes are intuitive to use,” says educator Franziska Haberler. The applause from the students shows that Ovos and the DaVinciLab have already mastered this component. But will the joy of programming remain? “I definitely want to develop my own games one day,” says one of the game designers from earlier and is encouraged by his classmates nodding vigorously – so there’s no question that this is indeed a big dream for the future. They already have a focus on programming at their school and have definitely made us curious to see if we can prove our gaming skills in one of their future games!<\/p>\n
