As part of the campus day, the BG/BRG Sillgasse visited the University of Innsbruck to investigate this question. Together, they discussed the structure of the micro:bit, implemented the commands for control and tried them out using practical examples. The results included a practical wearable for counting steps and a cheat-proof rock-paper-scissors tool.
The pupils were also able to train their own "artificial intelligence", which recognises street signs. This recognition was then transmitted to a robot and guided through an arena using a self-developed programme. This allowed them to experience how autonomous driving can work in a natural environment.
Project days, funded by the University of Innsbruck, the Province of Tyrol, the Industrial Association and the FFG INNALP Education Hub, give young researchers the unique opportunity to gain new and practical experience and immerse themselves in the world of university and research.
