Whether Girls' Future Day, Digitaltag or Code Week: MPDV participates in a number of other activities besides our regular seminars.

• Girls' Day: When it comes to choosing a career, software development and business IT elicit little interest from many girls. At the same time, girls are often unaware of what this profession actually entails. The Girls' Day is a chance for girls to form their own opinions.
• Digitaltag: On Digitaltag (EN: digital day), the opportunities and challenges of the digital world are highlighted nationwide and participants are encouraged to develop their digital skills. Here, MPDV offers a program that focuses on programming an MPDV robot with school students.
• Code Week: As part of Code Week, young people have the opportunity to gain a practical insight into the basics of software development. Again, knowledge is imparted in a fun way. E.g., learning how to program a robot.
