Outreach Activities for school students
There are many initiatives at TUM to motivate female students to choose computer science as a Bachelor's subject.
ExploreTUM is a series of programs offered at the Technical University of Munich with the shared goal of bringing scholars closer to STEM fields. They aim to allow girls, boys and diverse to experiment, explore the student life, and discover their interest in science and technology through a range of programs.
Girl's Day is a one-day event where companies, universities and research institutions across Germany open their doors to schoolgirls from the 5th grade and give an overview of their professions. Participants are invited to learn about different fields where women are currently underrepresented, specifically where the percentage of women is less than 40%. More general information can be found on the official Girls' Day website.
CS Schnupperstudium
The CS Schnupperstudium for High School Girls is a three-day intensive course on topics of Computer Science, specifically designed for girls in grades 10-12. Participation is free of charge, as all costs for meals, travel, and accommodation will be covered.
Women in Computer Science
Women in CS @ TUM is a TUM Community working towards equal participation of women and of other under-represented groups at the School. Learn more about their activities at Women in CS @ TUM.
The focus group “Diversity in Information Technology” consists of Anna Boyksen Fellow Dr. Andreea Molnar and her host Prof. Anne Brüggemann-Klein .

The GIRLS Hacker School is a format that is specifically aimed at girls and women from all ages. The goal is to inspire girls to code so that there are more women in the IT world.
she.codes is a recognized university group of KIT and TUM with the vision to inspire young people and especially girls for computer science and technical topics and to be a close role model for them. The program allows girls to come in contact with coding and with role models, which are important in order to create orientation and representation. In the different courses offered, participants combine creativity and programming and write their first programs
