Busch Inspires Future IT Talents with Digital Education

Last weekend, our company opened its doors to welcome seven curious and enthusiastic young people who wanted to learn about IT and programming. The ten to fifteen-year-olds had a great time exploring the world of coding and discovering exciting careers in IT.

The event was a collaboration between our company and the Hacker School, a non-profit organization that aims to provide digital education and media skills to young people across Germany. The “Hacker School” took care of the registrations and provided the laptops and equipment for the course. Our company hosted the two-day event at its headquarters in Maulburg and provided the participants with refreshments throughout the weekend.

The course was led by two of our female IT experts, Ann-Christin Hohlfeld and Katja Senger. They taught the participants how to use programming languages. They also shared their passion and experience in IT, and encouraged the youngsters to pursue their interests and talents in this field.
For me personally, it is important to show children and young people that women are successful in IT professions. As a company, we are always on the lookout for good apprentices and are particularly pleased to have female junior IT staff

She and Katja Senger not only wanted to teach the kids technical skills, but also to foster their creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. They challenged the young people with fun tasks and projects, and helped them overcome any difficulties they encountered.

The participants had a great time learning new skills and making new friends. They were proud of their achievements and are eager to continue their journey in IT.

Our company was not the only member of the Busch Group that hosted an IT course for children and teenagers last weekend. Pfeiffer Vacuum AG in Asslar also joined forces with the Hacker School to offer a similar opportunity to young people in their region.

The non-profit Hacker School is supported by volunteer IT professionals who share their knowledge and passion with the next generation. The organization works with companies that are committed to social responsibility and education. Its mission is to empower young people with digital skills and inspire them to explore the professions of the future.
