Young Software Developers’ Day 2026 Students showcase their semester projects

Around 200 students from the Bachelor’s degree programmes in Computer Science, Business Informatics, Information Systems Engineering and Mathematics at Technische Universität Braunschweig will present their work at the ‘Young Software Developers’ Day’ on

Thursday, 16 July 2026, from 1 pm to 4.30 pm
in the foyer of the Computer Science Centre,
Mühlenpfordtstraße 23, 38106 Braunschweig,

the results of this year’s software development placement and warmly invite school pupils and technology enthusiasts to attend. A jury comprising experts from academia, the student body and industry will assess the projects and award prizes to the three best teams.

Programme

1 pm  Welcome by Prof. Dr. Thomas Thüm, Institute for Software Engineering and Vehicle Informatics

until 4.30 pm  Presentation of the projects by the students

approx. 5.15 pm  Awards ceremony in Lecture Theatre PK 4.7

Following the welcome at 1 pm, representatives from the media are invited to take part in a guided tour.

3D-printed blueprints and app-based support for accident rescue

Once again this year, students were able to choose from a wide range of projects focusing on virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and machine learning. Amongst other things, one project involved developing memory aids for people with ADHD in the form of a virtual memory palace. Another team used augmented reality to display the positions of cables and pipes in cars. This enables people to be rescued more safely from crashed vehicles. Other teams combined 3D printing and machine learning to create small, printed models of houses from building plans. Two teams also analysed the effects of echo chambers on social media, and these can now be tested through self-experiments.

The Software Development Placement

As part of this year’s software development placement, around 200 students from eleven institutes worked on 33 projects, learning practical skills in the development of complex software systems. They were supported by their respective institutes throughout the process, from planning and development right through to the completion of the products. Following an intensive phase of development, programming and testing, the young software developers are eager to present their finished products to the public.
