Introduction and Overview
The need for a project week in the area of IT
Project weeks at schools are a good way of promoting modern work techniques and giving pupils the opportunity to practise mastering complex tasks, to act in a goal-oriented manner and as part of a team, thus preparing them for the demands of working life.
The educational mission of schools is:
Pupils should be adequately prepared for life in society [...] and this includes preparing pupils for the world of work and professions.
Objectives of the conception of a project week in the field of IT
The pupils are introduced to professions in the IT sector at an early stage and in a playful way, so that a stereotype-free and practical career orientation can take place. In addition, the ability to work in a team is strengthened.
Teachers are relieved as they are not the direct mediators of the learning content and do not have to acquire the required knowledge.
In principle, the concept can be used at any school within the framework of project weeks.
