Workshop for girls: Artificial intelligence in focus!
The University of Bamberg is hosting the “AI Summer School 4 Girls” from September 10th to 12th, 2025 at the MINT Center Hirschaid, Leimhüll 27, 96114 Hirschaid. This initiative is part of the PIONIERIN project and aims to get girls and young women excited about artificial intelligence (AI). The workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to the topics of AI and its social benefits.
A particular focus is on the concepts and methods of machine learning. The participants will be able to train their own models based on examples from the fields of medicine and health. The participants receive support from computer science students at the University of Bamberg, who act as mentors. The event is aimed at students from the 10th grade and young women aged 17 and over.

The importance of workshops for girls
Given the ongoing gender imbalance in STEM subjects, it is essential to sensitize girls to these topics at an early stage. An article by mint-connected addresses the necessity and influence of such programs, which not only impart knowledge but also strengthen the self-confidence of the participants.
Additional research shows that the use of artificial intelligence in educational contexts can help reduce discrimination and promote inclusion. In particular, considering diversity in STEM fields is crucial to improving gender representation. Studies show that workshops like the “AI Summer School 4 Girls” not only provide a theoretical basis, but also impart practical skills that are beneficial in later professional life.
