The promotion of the development of teacher training in computer science will have a considerable influence on the training in schools and at the same time on the previous knowledge of first-year students in computer science. At the same time, the upgrading of the subject of computer science in schools will make an important contribution to the competitiveness of Baden-Württemberg as a business location. In cooperation with the Vector Foundation, which has been actively supporting the development of the teacher training program in computer science since June 2015, the planned first major milestones of the project were achieved.

In the 2016 funding period, for example, important steps towards the implementation of the programme were taken. Thanks to the support of the Vector Foundation, the first bachelor students in the newly designed teacher training program for computer science could be welcomed at KIT in the winter semester 2016/17.

The KIT Foundation thanks the Vector Foundation for its outstanding commitment.
