Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Nadine Bergner

I have held the Chair of Didactics of Computer Science at TU Dresden since April 1, 2019.

My goal is to support computer science education in schools and beyond. In order to assist computer science teachers in planning contemporary, learner-centered and challenging computer science lessons, I develop educational resources for computer science lessons with student teachers, which we make available to all as open educational resources (OER).

I am also the head of the Pupil Computing Center (Schülerrechenzentrum) and the SchoolLab EduInf. I would like these to give enthusiastic children and young people the opportunity to engage with exciting topics in information technology (such as 3D modeling or AI) in greater depth outside of school lessons.
