Two students from the WU10 computer science class earned second-place finishes for Steinm\u00fchle in the \u201cInformatik Biber\u201d competition. Constantin Franz and Felix May each received a certificate and a small prize. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Informatik-Biber is Germany’s largest computer science competition for students in grades 3 through 13. In the most recent edition, a record number of 429,000 students from 2,500 educational institutions across the country participated. <\/span><\/p>\n

Above all, the program calls for skills in solving puzzles and brain teasers, with the tasks creatively teaching the thought processes and concepts of computer science. One example of this is algorithmic descriptions\u2014that is, explaining or formulating clear, structured sequences of actions that a computer could understand. <\/span><\/p>\n

Students who are not enrolled in the Computer Science track (8th, 9th, or 10th grade) but enjoy brain teasers are welcome to contact English and computer science teacher Christopher Koch and participate in the next round at the end of the year. There is also an opportunity to practice beforehand. <\/span><\/p>\n
