Girls' Day 2025 am Hochschulrechenzentrum
How do smartphones and laptops at home communicate? Which parts is a computer made of? How do I create a safe password? How does our server room look, and what purpose does it serve? And how does a 3D-printer work? These questions, and many more, were explored at this year's Girls' Day at the University IT and Data Center. Once again we were happy to welcome 8 interested students at the HRZ! During a scavenger hunt through the HRZ, the students solved riddles for parts of a password with which four computers could be unnlocked at the end of the day. The participants visited the IT-helpdesk, the 3D-printer as well as the working stations and network communication. In an informative quiz key words were earned, which would later help to unlock the computers. After a tour through the server room and a well-deserved pizza break, the new knowledge was to be applied. Four raspberry pis had to be wired up correctly and were connected to screens, keyboards and switches in order to enter the master password and create a network connection. With these now fully configured working stations the girls were able to interact and play cooperative and competetive computer games.
