During the reporting year, the Technology and IT Weeks were further expanded. Compared with the previous year, six additional project weeks were held. At the same time, the network of partner companies and universities was expanded and the programme content was further developed. A total of 31 Technology and IT Weeks were held.

New additions to the programme included a robotics workshop by “Robotergeschichten” and a workshop by Makubri on responsible behaviour in the digital world. At the same time, Marko Kovac joined the project team. The new formats complement the existing programme and address current technological and societal issues. In this way, the Technology and IT Weeks help to spark interest in technical and scientific careers and break down existing prejudices.

Plans for 2026 include further deepening the collaboration with universities of applied sciences and expanding the range of workshops and talks in partnership with the project partners. In addition, communication and the visibility of the Technology and IT Weeks are to be further enhanced.

‘The collaboration with IngCH and the MINT Service Centre is a real asset for our school. Through the jointly organised Technology and IT Week, our pupils gained valuable insights into various professions and were able to discover their interest in MINT subjects in a whole new way.

"It was particularly impressive to see the enthusiasm and curiosity with which the pupils took part in the activities, especially the workshops. We appreciate the professional organisation and the practical focus of the activities. We would highly recommend the Technology and IT Weeks to other schools and look forward to continuing this successful collaboration in the future.”
