DoIT - An approach to comprehend information technologies and computer science

Abstract

Secondary school students tend to learn more about the usage of computers than the technology behind. It is a challenging task to raise a basic understanding, motivation, and interest in computer science and IT. The project doIT tries to fulfill this task by presenting experimental games which abstract common computer principles. The goal should be that students are led from the conceptual experiment to a greater insight into the actual, technological background. © 2012 IEEE.
