Each year female students, which are based in Germany, can take part in Girls’ Day. Girls from 5th grade upwards can take a sneak peek into jobs, which are more often taken up by men. With our participation, we aim to motivate young girls to make stereotype-free career choices. Therefore, we want to specifically inspire and excite many young female students in the large field of AI research. This year on April 23, 2026, girls can find out more about our scientist’s work in AI, Big Data and Data Science research by visiting us at our Living Labs at TU Dresden und Leipzig University!

Further information is available on the official website of the event. Please note that registration is required for participation. We are looking forward to welcoming many young female scientists to our AI Competence Center.

Girls’ Day 2026 in Dresden
Shape the future – digitalization at TU Dresden

Immerse yourself in the world of computer science and digitalization on Girls’ Day! Artificial intelligence (AI), state-of-the-art supercomputers, and the use of digital media in teaching, research, and education: At the Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Sciences (CIDS), digitalization at TU Dresden is supported, researched, and further developed in all its dimensions. Starting at 9 a.m., experience firsthand what we are working on.

Program

• Playful research: In a short workshop in the morning, we will look at colorful building blocks through a new lens—as a social science research approach! We will test and discuss a small scenario and learn more about the ways in which it can be used to obtain and evaluate research information from people.
• Afterwards, you will visit the Living Lab – a place where AI research can be experienced through exciting exhibits. You will playfully try out how computers understand and process images and other information. These methods are being researched so that they can later be used in important areas such as medicine. This is followed by an excursion into the fascinating world of language models: together we will look at how chatbots support learning and what is behind these systems.
• After lunch with students, you will explore the TU Dresden computer center – the IT heart of our university. We will open our doors and show you how our supercomputers work. You will also find out what you can expect from our exciting vocational training and study opportunities.

Discover how digital technologies are revolutionizing research, teaching, and our everyday lives – and how you can help shape the future by choosing to study computer science at TU Dresden!
