Microsoft Switzerland is running the "You Make IT Smart" campaign for the second time to promote computer science in schools and universities. The campaign is primarily aimed at Swiss pupils and students and offers a fun approach to IT and computer science in particular. According to the press release, around 800 pupils and students took part in last year's activities on the topic of robotics.
Pupils and students can win a total of 150 Xbox 360 consoles as part of various activities and competitions. One of the options is to take part in a programming competition. The task of the participants is to program their own "Spaceship Game" using the free software provided by Microsoft. In addition to the programming competition, pupils and students can take part in events and campaigns to win additional consoles. For example, at the global technology Olympics "Imagine Cup 2010", the final of which takes place in Poland, or the "Microsoft Academic TechDays" in Basel and Geneva. Accredited institutions also offer the opportunity to complete online training courses and obtain a Microsoft certificate.
We are also looking for ideas from professors and lecturers at Swiss universities and universities of applied sciences as well as teachers at Swiss vocational schools and high schools for the installation of a game research laboratory and a concept for integrating it into the curriculum.
