The national Digital Day, which took place for the second time this year, aims to raise public awareness of digital transformation. ETH Zurich also took part, focusing on the two topics of IT education for school pupils and digitalisation in medicine. The University has long played a prominent role in both areas.
In collaboration with the University of Basel and the Bern, Grisons, Lucerne and Schaffhausen universities of teacher education, ETH Zurich’s Centre for Computer Science Education held programming workshops for children. At six locations on Digital Day, over 600 school pupils dived into the fascinating world of programming, discovering that programming is a creative and enjoyable activity. They also learned skills that will make their lives easier in the digital future.
