As part of the EduRef course offer­ing, we offer refugees and oth­er migrants a free intro­duc­tion into the world of pro­gram­ming. But why should you learn pro­gram­ming at all?
The share of IT in Ger­man eco­nom­ic out­put is high­er than the share of the auto­mo­tive indus­try.
Pro­gram­ming is becom­ing more and more impor­tant, as most career starters need a basic under­stand­ing of IT.

For our cours­es we use the pro­gram­ming lan­guage Java. It can be used very flex­i­bly and is plat­form inde­pen­dent. Nev­er­the­less, it is easy to learn and thus, for exam­ple, is also taught in the first semes­ter of the study pro­grams Com­put­er Sci­ence, Indus­tri­al Engi­neer­ing and Mechan­i­cal Engi­neer­ing at KIT.

Java for begin­ners cov­er the fol­low­ing topics:

• Vari­ables
• Cal­cu­la­tions
• Com­ments
• Input and output
• If-/else- con­di­tions
• Loops
• Arrays

With these top­ics we want to give you a basic under­stand­ing of an object-ori­ent­ed pro­gram­ming lan­guage. We learn to write our own sim­ple pro­grams. In addi­tion, the course offers a good
oppor­tu­ni­ty to exchange ideas with oth­er par­tic­i­pants and tutors. The course ends with a social event.

Pre­vi­ous knowl­edge in pro­gram­ming is not required.
