Course & Cooperation Partners

The BYTE Challenge is a member of:

At the BYTE Challenge, science, teaching, and learning go hand in hand. Working with universities, colleges, and other research institutions is just as natural to us as our own contributions to research. This is reflected both in our cooperation agreement with Hochschule Wismar and in our Advisory Board. In practice, this shows up in collaborative activities such as

• theses at the University of Mannheim, Hochschule Wismar, and the University of Education Freiburg, which we've supported and, in most cases, also supervised,
• the eduHacktory project workshop, which we initiated and supported at TU Berlin,
• seminar projects at Hochschule Wismar,
• guest lectures at the Academy for Political Education in Tutzing, the University of Bremen, and at the Mathematics Conference Day at TU Braunschweig, and
• our regular participation in "Studieren is(s)t mehr!" and the Long Night of Sciences at TU Berlin.

Our own scientific contributions include, among others,

All of these collaborations and activities show us time and again how valuable the dialogue between science, teaching, and practice truly is. Together, we develop new ideas, test innovative approaches, and actively help shape processes. This creates a lively exchange that benefits everyone involved and helps drive digital education forward in a way that's both current and effective. We're always open to new collaborations, so feel free to get in touch at: info@byte-challenge.de

We are always looking for potential co-operation partners and sponsors. Let's talk about how we can work together. Contact us to discuss further details and develop ideas together.
