Review of the Online Summer Courses 2021

pink

Dear Participants, Lecturers, and Friends of the Summer Universities 2021,

again as last year, the 24th Informatica Feminale had to stay online and our plans for courses in Bremen were stopped.

But as always the lecturers were flexible, the students’ echos great, and from July to October, some 50 courses went ahead. Some course were booked out in hours after publication; others realized settings with few students and very intensive learning. Lecturers sent hardware for experiments to their students; participants organized their own lunch meetings and got happy about virtual networking.

Many thanks to the wonderful lecturers, who participated with full engagement. We are especially pleased, that you followed with interest our special online training program for lecturers about the topics privacy, facilitation, and protection from discrimination in online teaching.

Many thanks also to all the 180 participants for active participation, discussions, comments and criticism, networking and collegiality!
We as organizers have again learnt much about a reasonable design of the Summer University. Some courses with huge practical parts are difficult to realize online. At the same time we will support the wish of those participants, who for different reasons, would never have been able to travel to Bremen. In future, we will arrange weeks with online teaching as well as physical courses in Bremen. Hopefully, both the plans will be realized next year already!

But we miss you all – lecturers and participants – on place in Bremen. No cafeteria, no field trips, no guests. Next year, the 25th Informatica Feminale will be organized – a good reason to celebrate a “real” party.

We invite you all to partcipate and look forward to welcoming you next summer in Bremen!

Greetings
Henrike Illig, Isabel Matthias, Veronika Oechtering

19 Aug (Sat) – Lunch Talk: Nager IT – Faire IT

Lunch Talk: Nager IT – Faire IT

Saturday, 19.08.2023
Time: 13.10-13.50h
Room: MZH 1110
Language: The talk will be in German.

Referentin: Susanne Jordan, Nager IT e.V.

Der „digitale Fortschritt“ macht uns auf vielfältige Weise das Leben leichter und bequemer, eröffnet uns unzählige Möglichkeiten der internationalen Forschung und Vernetzung, interessante Jobs u.v.m. Die Liste der Vorteile ist lang. Geht es um die Nachteile, denken die meisten Menschen erstmal an Datensicherheit und Stromverbrauch.

In meinem Vortrag beleuchte ich eine essentielle Herausforderung, die trotz ihrer Wichtigkeit zu oft übersehen wird:

Die Arbeitsbedingungen in der globalen Produktionskette der Hardware, v.a. auch unserer Endgeräte, die milliardenfach quasi geräuschlos produziert werden und ohne die der digitale Fortschritt nicht möglich wäre.

Wer sind die Menschen, die die Rohstoffe für unsere Tablets aus der Erde holen, z.B. Zinn- Erz, Gold oder auch Erdöl? Was passiert mit der Umwelt in den Förderregionen? Und wer lötet schraubt, klippt, … all die Baugruppen und Geräte zusammen unter welchen Bedingungen (also in wieviel Wochenstunden, bei welchem Stundenlohn, mit welchem Gesundheitsschutz etc.) zusammen? Wer ist überhaupt alles beteiligt? Und wie können wir diese Prozesse so gestalten, dass sie für ALLE ein Gewinn sind, nicht nur für uns Nutzende? Diese Frage ist essentiell wichtig für angehende Ingenieur_innen, damit wir, bei allem Fortschritt, menschlich bleiben.

Nager IT hat an einem kleinen Gerät beispielhaft probiert, wie eine menschenwürdige Produktion aussehen kann. Mit Erfolg. Aber EIN Gerät von EINEM Hersteller reicht nicht. Wir brauchen viel mehr Faire IT-Geräte! Um all das geht es in diesem Vortrag.

22 Aug (Tue) – Lunch Talk: Projekt Digitale Teilhabe

Lunch Talk: Projekt Digitale Teilhabe im Arbeitsleben durch partizipative Evaluation, Hochschule Bremen

Lunch Talk, IF-IS VOR 05

Tuesday, August 22th, 2023
Time: 1:25-1:55 p.m.
Location: Will be announced in the conference office.
Language: The language will be german.

Die digitale Welt ist nicht barrierefrei zugänglich. Die Ursachen dafür liegen häufig in den Entwicklungsprozessen. Designer*innen wie Entwickler*innen zielen in der Regel auf das Nutzungsverhalten von Menschen ohne Einschränkungen oder Behinderungen ab. Das gilt auch für freie und Open Source Software (F/OSS). Die entscheidende Herausforderung dabei ist nicht die technische Realisierung. Das Hauptproblem besteht im mangelndem Bewusstsein und fehlendem Wissen über die Anforderungen von Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen.

Mit dem Projekt “Digitale Teilhabe im Arbeitsleben durch partizipative Evaluation” wollen wir Brücken zwischen Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen und Open Source Communities bauen und so einen grundlegenden Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Barrierefreiheit von OS Software und Systemen leisten. Dafür erforschen wir die Perspektiven aller Beteiligten und entwickeln ein Prozessmodell partizipativer Evaluation.
Leitlinien und Projektziele dabei sind:
– Barrierefreiheit für alle: Grundlegende Verbesserungen statt individueller Workarounds
– Open Accessibility: Bewusstsein wecken und schärfen, praktische Hilfen bereitstellen
– Partizipation und Empowerment: Zugängliche Gestaltung digitaler Arbeitsplätze durch, mit und für Menschen mit Beeinträchtigungen.
Im Lunch Talk wollen wir das Projekt vorstellen und erste Erfahrungen berichten. Die Gestaltung der digitalen Arbeit in unserem diversen Team von Wissenschaftler*innen mit unterschiedlichen Behinderungen spielt dabei eine wichtige Rolle.

Scholarships

This year, we offer a certain number of scholarships for travel and accommodation to support students. Please approach your home university regarding financial support as well — we’ll be happy to advise you on this.

The organizers of the Informatica Feminale at the University of Bremen coordinate all scholarships. The allowances will be issued in regard to the overall travel expenses: 10,00 Euro per overnight stay and (partly) travel expenses according to consultation with us. We expect our scholarship holders to choose the cheapest bus/ train/ flight ticket option so that we can fund as many participants as possible. Public transport in Bremen will not be covered and not returned.

We will support international students to find cheap and good accommodation in the near of the university, according to individual contacts in advance.

Evidence must be provided for all expenses. Please note that original documents must be provided in Bremen as supporting evidence.
Reimbursements of expenses will be paid around 2-3 months after the end of the summer universities (other arrangements are possible only for international students, according to individual contacts in advance).

Scholarship holders are exempt from the participation fee.

Financial support by other universities
In past years, a lot of universities supported their students financially to a certain extent, assisting them in covering the costs of participation for the summer universities. Please contact your dean or the faculty’s equal opportunity officer at your university.

Scholarship Application
An application for a scholarship has to be filed in the application form. Furthermore, a scholarship application letter needs to be turned in via e-mail or facsimile within 7 days of your application. Claims submitted later cannot be considered!

How to write a scholarship application letter?
The letter should be informal. Please send us a PDF document, including your own letterhead, addressed to Informatica Feminale (see below).

Child Care

Throughout the summer universities we offer a free daily child care for the participants’ and lecturers’ children.

Child care is offered for children between 1 and 12 years of age (please ask in advance if you need child care for babies).

The children will stay in a children’s group room on the Campus of the University of Bremen, taken care of by a team of experienced childcare workers.
Your child/children is/are supposed to eat and spend time together with you during lunch time.

We ask you to make a binding registration in advance, if you need childcare during your stay in Bremen.
Following up, we will then arrange planning in more detail regarding your child’s/children’s experience and settling in as well as what to bring along.

The primarily necessary information will be asked for during the registration process. Do not hesitate to ask us if you have any further questions.
