Until now, it was only possible to study computer science for a teaching profession together with mathematics. Now it is possible at Saarland University to combine all school subjects with computer science. With the reform of the academic program, comp
A walk in the woods: one can feel soft moss under one’s feet, notice twigs and branches breaking when stepped upon, feel the gnarled bark of a tree. Sensations such as these are perceived through the sense of touch and have thus so far been denied to d
Real-time systems: they control processes where it is important that a program runs within a certain time window – for example in airbags, anti-lock braking systems or aircraft control systems. If calculations here were too slow by only fractions of a
Never before has there been anything like this in the history of computer science in Saarbrücken: a completely digital start to the semester. Due to the corona pandemic, the traditional computer science welcome event at the beginning of the semester co
Due to the impressive advances in Machine Learning and the unlimited availability of data, neural networks are rapidly becoming prevalent in our everyday lives, for instance by assisting in image-classification or decision-making tasks. As a result, th
More than 42,000 people have taken part in a programming competition to combat the corona virus. Now the IT incubator of Saarland University and Max Planck Society is also counting on software and the creativity and determination of the people behind i
In the online holiday programme of the student laboratory for computer science at Saarland University, “InfoLabSaar”, children from the age of ten learn how to use the graphical programming language Scratch and how to create their own computer game. Th
