Girls’ Day – Boys’ Day

As part of the annual nationwide Boys’ Day/Girls’ Day event at Mainz University of Applied Sciences, girls and boys have the chance to sample degree programs that currently do not have many female or male students in them respectively. For girls, these are primarily technical, mechanical, and scientific degree programs. Boys have the opportunity to get to know the artistic and creative degree programs of the School of Design.

Behind the Scenes – Real Coding // Applied Informatics

• The programming of software is exciting and complex. While you often see programmers portrayed in movies as nerds sitting in dark rooms in front of screens and all the exciting action seems to take place elsewhere, the reality of programmers is quite different.  We show you how exciting coding actually is and what is hidden behind the source code. Using fun examples, we will teach you the basics of coding. After a short time you will see your first successes!
