© Amélie Chapalain_eduLAB TU Wien Informatics starts its first "Abenteuer Informatik" workshop program for elementary schools, funded by LEA Women's Fund. Amélie Chapalain_eduLAB TU Wien Informatics now organizes computer science workshops for elementary school classes at TU Wien to get children interested in STEM topics at a very early age. The first workshop was held on May 16, 2023, at TU Campus Favoritenstraße. More than 20 workshops are planned annually, aiming at third graders in Vienna's elementary schools, thus offering 18.000 children a chance to participate. With a grant of 80,000 euros, LEA Women's Fund supports the faculty to particularly attract elementary classes until spring 2024. TU Wien Informatics eduLAB has been holding workshops for higher grades for several years now, "but since elementary school classes are much more supervision-intensive, we are glad to finally have the necessary resources to cover this new ground," says Laura Kovacs , Professor for Formal Methods and head of the project. In the pilot phase from December 2022 to September 2023, 7 workshops have been held with three schools at TU Wien Informatics.
