In this advanced workshop we will explore graphs and their usage in Java. After a basic introduction, the main focus is on building, evaluating and visualizing relations. In this workshop, the young people are expected to have a wide technical overview with their own room for creativity.

In this workshop we'll teach the teens on how to build Minecraft mods. We'll show you how to spawn an Ender Dragon from an egg, show an alert message when a creeper is spawned, make skeletons fight with each other and much more.

Programming your own computer game? This workshop shows how it works with the programming language Scratch. In a simple way, we create figures and landscapes that we combine and bring to life. We walk through labyrinths, collect points and change levels. All this is implemented with the help of graphical programming modules, which can also be found in the real IT world. Programming techniques are learned in a playful and quick way by creating visual surfaces and amazing functions.

This workshop combines music and programming. It builds on the Sonic Pi platform, which was developed to introduce students to concepts such as loops, variables and conditions in a playful way. With the learned concepts they can creatively assemble their own melodies and rhythms. A unique piece of music is created, which can be listened directly - every programmed line is directly transformed into sounds and melodies.
