Digitalization? We’ll take matters into our own hands! That’s probably what two boarding school students at Steinmühle thought, and they each launched their own working group on the topic.
New Digital Drawing Club:
An ideal space for creative people
Francis Wang is 19 and finds it extremely convenient that he no longer has any space issues. Because everything is full: his portfolio, the walls—and his head. That’s where he’s already planning his next masterpiece: He’s not short on creative ideas—he just needs a place to put the results. From now on, that’s no longer a problem. He traded his canvas for a tablet and learned how to use a drawing app.
By now, the boarding student at Steinmühle has gotten the hang of it. But that’s not all. He’s confident enough to share his knowledge with others. He enjoys helping his classmates learn how to use the editing software so they, too, can give free rein to their creative ideas. After all, worrying about where to store everything is a thing of the past. And there’s another option available to the “Digital Creatives”: If they want, they can share their work with friends right away!
Study Group for Programmers:
Konstantin (14) will show you how!
This is how people imagine a programmer: at least in their mid-twenties, with a high school diploma long in hand and far removed from anything related to “school.” Konstantin Knorre hasn’t cleared that hurdle yet, but he programs anyway. The 14-year-old boarding student at Steinmühle has been active in this field for a year; he’s now taking “Programming” as an elective. He also leads a club for his classmates in this subject. He’s already programmed two mobile games of his own. In these games, he has to dodge obstacles or prevent moving planets from colliding. Konstantin works with the “Unity” program in the “C#” programming language. This allows for complex three-dimensional programming. So far, six students are participating in his club.
