Following the cancellation at short notice of the ETH programmes in 2020 due to COVID-19, this year IT Services and the D-INFK department chose to realise digital programmes from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, ETH Zurich was once again represented by exciting programmes. We would have liked to have welcomed children, young people, families, grandparents and all interested persons to ETH premises. However, as this was not possible, we brought many enthusiastic individuals to ETH Zurich in digital format. Interest was unabated. Through platforms such as Zoom, we were able to welcome people not only from across Switzerland but also from Swiss schools in Barcelona and Rome, whisking them away into the world of IT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme «Faces of IT and their journeys<\/a>» (\u00abGesichter in der IT und ihre Wege\u00bb German only) was aimed at schoolchildren from around year six to year eight (in class groups or alone) and at interested teachers (with or without their classes). The IT Training Lab provided an insight into the training, application process and tasters. There followed a talk with two second year and third year trainees, who have chosen to pursue two different IT specialisations in the shape of systems technology (from summer 2021 platform development<\/a>) and application development. Role models from ETH Zurich then got their turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
