Contests and Challenges: Hands-On STEM
The popular IT security event organized by THA_innos, the Institute for Innovative Security at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences, kicks off every February and invites students from all over Bavaria to solve virtual IT puzzles and, in this way, engage with the topic of IT security in a fun and interactive way.
Students of all grade levels and school types are eligible to participate, and there is no cost to join. An interest in computer science and a willingness to tackle puzzles are key requirements. Essentially, the goal is to really dig into the challenges and discover just how much fun IT security topics can be.
Small groups and extracurricular clubs can also participate. Every year, several hundred participants register, including a large number of teams.
