Students Develop Open Source Teaching SoftwareIn a new teaching laboratory, tools and programs are being developed for computer science teaching -
developers orient themselves directly towards the needs of pupils and teachers.
In order to master the challenges of digitization as adults, pupils need a broad basic education in computer science.
However, teachers often lack the right tools to teach subjects such as software development or IT security.
In the new open-source teaching software laboratory at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT),
students will gain practical experience in the development of open-source software and at the same time develop
materials for teaching computer science.

Software Project Blockchain-based E-VotingAlso this summer term, we offer a project as part of the bachelor course
"Software Engineering Practice".
On May 4, 2018, the project of summer term 2018 on the topic
"Blockchain-based E-Voting" started.
Within this project, a team of five bachelor students develops a complete software
