Digital Nachwuchs
summary
A national program organizes weekend hackathons for 12–18 year olds that produce working prototypes like a tree-powered Wi‑Fi hotspot (generating power from a bike or swing, driving irrigation and LEDs) and a 3D‑printed armband that vibrates near surveillance cameras. A volunteer-run Hacker School has run six paid sessions (€29) with mentor-to-student ratios around 1:2–3, and an AppCamps platform has enrolled about 100 teachers to deliver App Inventor modules reaching classes of roughly 90 students.
