On 23.04.2026, it was that time again: Future Day offered pupils of all ages the opportunity to get to know the University of Oldenburg and various degree programmes and professions.
Under the motto "EVA makes games - from input to your own computer game", the Didactics of Computing Science gave six schoolgirls a practical insight into the EVA principle on which all computers are based. They developed and programmed their own games and used modelling clay, aluminium foil and other everyday materials to design creative controllers to control their games.
After having lunch together in the university canteen, the students also designed individual key rings. These were cut out of wood on site using a laser cutter and engraved so that the finished pieces could be taken home straight away.
