„Rails Girls“ bringt jungen Mädchen das Programmieren bei. Vergangenen Samstag fand im Forum Geesseknäppchen bereits die vierte Auflage des „Rails Girls“ Programmier-Workshops statt. Organisiert von WIDE , „Women In Digital Empowerment“, und unterstützt durch Digital Lëtzebuerg, lernen Mädchen wie „Ruby on Rails“ funktioniert. „Wir haben uns für diese Technik entschieden, weil man hiermit recht schnell Resultate sehen kann, das heißt also, dass die Teilnehmerinnen am Ende des Tages auch tatsächlich schon etwas aufzuzeigen haben“, verrät WIDE-Präsidentin Marie-Adélaïde Gervis.
Hierbei sind die Mädchen natürlich nicht sich selber überlassen: Mehr als 25 Coaches kümmerten sich am Samstag um die 50 Teilnehmerinnen und führten sie Schritt für Schritt zum gewünschten Ziel. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: http://www.scoop.it/t/luxembourg-europe/?&tag=Coding

Das „Luxembourg United“-Team auf dem Weg nach Japan. Mit den Erfolgen hätte wohl niemand gerechnet; das Robo-Lab der SNT-Universität Luxemburg, das erst seit rund einem Jahr besteht, hat sich nicht nur für das „German Open“-Turnier qualifizieren können, sondern hat sich wesentlich besser behaupten können, als gedacht.
So konnte das junge Team alte Hasen wie die Teams aus Zürich, Frankfurt oder Rom schlagen und in seiner Klasse (oder Kategorie) als Nummer eins aus dem Turnier gehen. Damit nicht genug: Das Team hat sich auch für den „RoboCup“ in Japan qualifizieren können - und wird ab dem 25. Juli Luxemburg und die Uni direkt vor Ort in Nagoya auf dem Turnier vertreten.

As part of European Maker Week, Girls in Tech and Bee Creative will be holding a creative programming workshop and a tour of the Creative Studio of BASE 1, one of the 6 new maker spaces for youth available in Luxembourg.
From 18:00 to 20:30 on Tuesday 31 May 2016, participants will be able to discover the educational possibilities offered by a Maker Space and how it fosters creativity, particularly for children and teenagers. The event will be a family activity and participants are invited to bring their child with them (minimum age: 10).
The activity will include a tour of BASE 1's Creative Studio, followed by a Q&A session. A creative programming workshop will enable those registered to start designing and programming their own Sphere Ball, a small robot ball that will be able to avoid obstacles and look for light to charge its batteries.
Entry to the event is free but requires prior registration here. The event will take place at Forum Gesseknäppchen, 40 Boulevard Pierre Dupong, 1430 Luxembourg.

La sixième édition de Hack4kids a eu lieu le samedi 9 avril 2016 lors de l’événement Game of Code, un Hackathon made in Luxembourg, qui s’est déroulé au Forum Geesseknäppchen à Luxembourg.
Cette édition de Hack4kids, organisée autour du thème de la programmation, a réuni une trentaine d’enfants âgés de 7 à 12 ans. L’événement était composé de deux ateliers:
un atelier animé par Securitymadein.lu portant sur Scratch pendant lequel les enfants ont pu apprendre à utiliser en toute créativité ce logiciel de programmation, développé par le MIT. un atelier animé par Aldebaran où les groupes ont également fait la connaissance du petit robot Nao (créé par cette société) et ont appris à le programmer grâce à sa plateforme de développement. Concernant l’encadrement, des professionnels de l’éducation et des experts en sécurité de l’informatique étaient présents (CodeClub Luxembourg, Securitymadein.lu, Aldebaran).

Depuis la rentrée des classes 2015, les bureaux d’Agile Partner accueillent les jeunes codeurs du club de Strassen. Au-delà de cet appui logistique, c'est une véritable envie de transmettre un savoir - et souvent une passion - qui anime la société et ses collaborateurs. Patrick Welfringer, fondateur du Code Club Luxembourg, et Annabelle Buffart, consultante chez Agile Partner, nous ont fait part de leurs convictions communes, de leurs ambitions et de leur enthousiasme.

As part of the new season of after-school coding clubs, Code Club Luxembourg is organising a “Coding Goûter” at the Technoport in Belval, this Sunday, 8 October 2017, from 14:00 to 17:00.
Coding Goûter is a multilingual event (EN/FR/DE/LB) where children aged 6 to 12, accompanied by an adult, get to know computer programming in a fun and playful way.
The main idea behind “Coding Goûter” is to allow children to make their first steps in digital coding together with their parents. The whole family will learn some computing basics, under the guidance of experts volunteering for Code Club.
The programme includes a hands-on approach to creating video games and steering robots as well as lots of fun activities around computers for the whole family. Not to forget a workshop specifically designed for parents.

Starting Monday, a team of high school students from Luxembourg will compete for the first time in the First Global international robotics challenge in Washington.
The Olympics-style challenge is designed to motivate teams of young people from every nation to learn and demonstrate skills in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
This year’s challenge is about providing access to clean drinking water now and in future. While over one billion people do not have reliable access to clean water right now, by 2040 projections suggest that there will be global water shortages.
“These students are doing much more than competing in a robotics game--they are learning that these challenges will only be overcome when people realise we are all on the same team, and that with technology, we can accomplish things we can only imagine by communicating, cooperating, and working together to apply technology as a tool for positive change in the world,” First Global said on its website.

Zum ersten Mal nimmt ein luxemburgisches Team an der First Global Challenge teil, einem internationalen Robotik-Wettbewerb, der in Washington DC stattfindet. Insgesamt nehmen Teams aus 164 Ländern teil. Das Thema des diesjährigen Events ist sauberes Wasser und es gilt für alle Teams, einen Roboter zu entwerfen, der Wassermoleküle und Schmutzpartikel, im Wettbewerb durch farbige Bälle dargestellt, trennen kann. Dies geschieht in Kooperation mit jeweils zwei anderen Teams.
Das luxemburgische Team wird durch Lehrerinnen und Lehrer des Code Club aus dem Lycée des Arts et Métiers betreut. Die Schülerinnen und Schüler treffen sich zweimal pro Woche im Code Club, um an dem Roboter zu arbeiten. Zum Bau des Roboters darf jedes Team nur die vorgegebenen Teile verwenden. Die Herausforderung besteht also darin, einen möglichst effizienten Roboter zu konstruieren und zu programmieren, um die Aufgabe zu bewältigen.
Das ganze Team hatte sogar die Ehre, den Premierminister Xavier Bettel bei sich begrüßen zu dürfen und ihm das Projekt vorzustellen. Wie gut sich das luxemburgische Team mit ihrem Roboter durchsetzen kann, wird sich vom 14. – 19. Juli in Washington DC zeigen.

Programmierer, App-Entwickler, Software-Ingenieur: All diese Berufe werden nach wie vor überwiegend von Männern ausgeübt. Kaum ein anderer Sektor hat in Sachen Geschlechtergleichheit noch so viel Nachholbedarf, wie der Technologiesektor. Eine Organisation, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat mehr junge Frauen für technische Berufe zu begeistern ist „Girls in Tech“ (GIT). 2007 von Adriana Gascoigne in den USA gegründet gibt es seit drei Jahren einen Ableger der Non-Profit-Organisation in Luxemburg.
