Archive Part Online Courses 2021

Dear Participants, Lecturers, and Friends of the Summer University 2021,

again as last year, the 13th Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni had to stay online and our plans for courses in Bremen were stopped.

But as always the lecturers were flexible, the students’ echos great, and from July to October, both the summer universities Ingenieurinnen-Sommeruni and Informatica Feminale with some 50 courses went ahead. Some course were booked out in hours after publication; others realized settings with few students and very intensive learning. Lecturers sent hardware for experiments to their students; participants organized their own lunch meetings and got happy about virtual networking.

Many thanks to the wonderful lecturers, who participated with full engagement. We are especially pleased, that you followed with interest our special online training program for lecturers about the topics privacy, facilitation, and protection from discrimination in online teaching.

Many thanks also to all the 180 participants for active participation, discussions, comments and criticism, networking and collegiality!
We as organizers have again learnt much about a reasonable design of the Summer University. Some courses with huge practical parts are difficult to realize online. At the same time we will support the wish of those participants, who for different reasons, would never have been able to travel to Bremen. In future, we will arrange weeks with online teaching as well as physical courses in Bremen. Hopefully, both the plans will be realized next year already!

But we miss you all – lecturers and participants – on place in Bremen. No cafeteria, no field trips, no guests. Next year, the 25th Informatica Feminale will be organized – a good reason to celebrate a “real” party.

We invite you all to partcipate and look forward to welcoming you next summer in Bremen!

Greetings
Henrike Illig, Isabel Matthias, Veronika Oechtering

16 Aug (Wed) – Robotics Research in Bremen at DFKI Robotics Innovation Center

Robotics Research in Bremen – Guided Tour of the DFKI Robotics Innovation Center

Institute visit and guided tour, IF-IS INS 01

Wednesday, August 16th, 2023
Time: 4:40 p.m.
Location: Will be announced in the conference office.
Language: If participants who are English-speaking (but not German-speaking) are present, the language will be English.

From intelligent technologies for space and the deep sea to robots for tomorrow’s production and logistics to medical exoskeletons – the Robotics Innovation Center of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) develops innovative robotic solutions for various application areas. For this purpose, a unique research infrastructure consisting of workshops, laboratories and test facilities is available to the currently around 170 employees.
During a 45-minute guided tour, you will gain insight into the 1,300 m² Maritime Exploration Hall, which is used to test robot systems for use on and under water. You will also visit the centerpiece of the extension opened in 2022, the 17-meter-high multifunctional hall with artificial crater landscape. Thanks to an overhead crane and extensive project areas, versatile research projects can be pursued here.

16 Aug (Wed) – The drop tower Bremen. Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM)

Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM).
The drop tower Bremen. How does it work and what happens within?

Institute visit and guided tour, IF-IS INS 02

Wednesday, August 16th, 2023
Time: 4:40 p.m.
Location: Will be announced in the conference office.
Language: If participants who are English-speaking (but not German-speaking) are present, the language will be English.

The Bremen Drop Tower is a large laboratory, unique in Europe, which offers scientists from all over the world the possibility of earthbound experiments under short-term weightlessness. In contrast to orbital microgravity research, this facility can be used permanently and cost-effectively. Since its commissioning in September 1990, the 146m high concrete structure has been available on the grounds of the University of Bremen and is an important addition to the existing and planned laboratory units for orbital and suborbital microgravity research. Since then, about 400 experiment launches per year have been carried out continuously. The facility makes it possible to reach a state of weightlessness up to three times a day for 4.74 seconds each time.
In December 2004, a catapult facility was put into operation, which was developed at the Center for Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) and creates unique research conditions worldwide. As a result, experiments can nowadays be carried out under weightlessness with a flight duration of up to 9.3 seconds, with the trajectory describing a “vertical” parabola.

Total duration of the tour is 45 minutes.

Unfortunately a tour to the top of the tower is not part of the tour.

17 Aug (Thu) – Lunch Talk: hmmh

hmmh
Breaking down barriers with digital accessibility

Lunch Talk, IF-IS VOR 01

Thursday, August 17th, 2023
Time: 1:25-1:55p.m.
Location: Will be announced in the conference office.
Language: If participants who are English-speaking (but not German-speaking) are present, the language will be also English.

Creating accessible websites and webshops for all – through digital accessibility. Imagine you can see nothing or only a little. Then you want a high-contrast design or even need to have the offers of an online store read aloud. If users can’t hear, videos need subtitles. Large buttons make navigation easier for people with limited mobility. In all these cases, the implementation of digital accessibility plays an important role. We believe that accessibility online is not a trend, but a social responsibility that we at hmmh are happy to take on. That’ s how we try to make the world a little bit better with websites that can be used by all people regardless of their limitations. In this presentation, we will talk about accessibility metrics and what impact non-accessible websites have on users and website owners.

German and Bremen craft history
Bremen’s carpenters’ guild shows the carpentry museum in the Ostertor district. A sponsoring association is restoring the facility and preserving the special historic workshop for the future.
In the hall-like machine room, a unique ensemble of more than 20 historic woodworking machines – mainly from before 1900 – has been preserved. All machines have been carefully restored and are still functional today.
Through the purchase of an old carpenter’s workshop in the Ostertor district, a historic workshop was saved from decay and demolition. During the renovation by the carpenters’ guild Bremen and the Förderverein Tischlerei-Museum Bremen, great importance was attached to the preservation of the historical condition.

22 Aug (Tue) – Lunch Talk: Projekt Digitale Teilhabe

Lunch Talk: Projekt Digitale Teilhabe im Arbeitsleben durch partizipative Evaluation, Hochschule Bremen

Lunch Talk, IF-IS VOR 05

Tuesday, August 22th, 2023
Time: 1:25-1:55 p.m.
Location: Will be announced in the conference office.
Language: The language will be German.

Die digitale Welt ist nicht barrierefrei zugänglich. Die Ursachen dafür liegen häufig in den Entwicklungsprozessen. Designer*innen wie Entwickler*innen zielen in der Regel auf das Nutzungsverhalten von Menschen ohne Einschränkungen oder Behinderungen ab. Das gilt auch für freie und Open Source Software (F/OSS). Die entscheidende Herausforderung dabei ist nicht die technische Realisierung. Das Hauptproblem besteht im mangelndem Bewusstsein und fehlendem Wissen über die Anforderungen von Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen.

Mit dem Projekt “Digitale Teilhabe im Arbeitsleben durch partizipative Evaluation” wollen wir Brücken zwischen Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen und Open Source Communities bauen und so einen grundlegenden Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Barrierefreiheit von OS Software und Systemen leisten. Dafür erforschen wir die Perspektiven aller Beteiligten und entwickeln ein Prozessmodell partizipativer Evaluation.
Leitlinien und Projektziele dabei sind:
– Barrierefreiheit für alle: Grundlegende Verbesserungen statt individueller Workarounds
– Open Accessibility: Bewusstsein wecken und schärfen, praktische Hilfen bereitstellen
– Partizipation und Empowerment: Zugängliche Gestaltung digitaler Arbeitsplätze durch, mit und für Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen.
Im Lunch Talk wollen wir das Projekt vorstellen und erste Erfahrungen berichten. Die Gestaltung der digitalen Arbeit in unserem diversen Team von Wissenschaftler*innen mit unterschiedlichen Behinderungen spielt dabei eine wichtige Rolle.

22 Aug (Tue) – Bremen hydro-electric power station

The Bremen hydro-electric power station

Small field trip, IF-IS KEX 01

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2023
Time: 4:35 p.m.
Location: Will be announced in the conference office.
Language: If participants who are English-speaking (but not German-speaking) are present, the language will be English in the beginning.
Please think of: proof of identity (ID Card), sturdy shoes and sturdy clothes

The power station Weserkraftwerk Bremen in Bremen-Hastedt was put into operation in 2011. The power station is located underground besides the given (river) Weser weir. It generates up to 42 million kilowatt hours electricity per year. It supplies more than 15.000 households in Bremen with electricity, – thus saving to the atmosphere some 13.000 tons of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2). With its output of up to 10 megawatts (MW) it is the biggest run-of-river power station in Germany, that is dependent on tides.

At the Bremen Weser weir, the water level below the barrage changes regularly by about 4 meters within an average of 6.2 hours due to the tide. The turbine technology is set up for this special condition.

The power plant has an extensive, constantly optimized fish protection concept consisting of several ascent and descent barriers in conjunction with effective protection against passage through the turbines. The functionality has been recorded for many years in a year-round monitoring system.
The Weser did not have to be specially dammed because of the existing weir, existing possibilities were used sensibly.

Language: If participants who are English-speaking (but not German-speaking) are present, the language will be English.

Innovation at your fingertips: The Bremen Ambient Assisted Living Lab (BAALL) is a fully furnished apartment, which adapts to the needs of the inhabitants. For research and development, the BAALL, opened in 2009, is the ideal environment: New intelligent technologies with focus on mobile assistance and support systems are being developed in a realistic environment, tested, and continuously improved with regards to their everyday usability. This includes smart appliances like a sink or toilet adjusting automatically to a person’s height, an intelligent wardrobe suggesting outfits, an intelligent wheelchair and walker, which are fitted with technical equipment to compensate declining physical and cognitive capabilities of elderly people.

Furthermore, we would like to show how we use BAALL as a learning and experimental environment to actively involve different stakeholders in development projects, to offer students attractive learning opportunities related to topics of Information Technology and Smart Environments and to make research transparent to an interested public.
