CRC1114 participated in the Berlin-wide "Girls' Day" on April 3rd, 2025.

At ZIB, PI Stefanie Winkelmann and Nathalie Wehlitz of project C03 organized the workshop „Mathematiker*innen auf den Spuren des Zufalls". In it, the girls (5th/6th grade) were able to discover how a fun dice game became a helpful computer program in which chance played a major role. They were also shown them the ZIB's supercomputer and looked over the shoulders of researchers at the ZIB in their offices.

At FU, PI Roland Netz and his group organized the workshop "Bewegung und Zufall" for girls of 5th-8th grade. While large objects usually move in a predictable way, tiny particles under the microscope look quite different: They seem to wriggle back and forth haphazardly. In this Girls' Day workshop, participants got to the bottom of this phenomenon. Together with the participants, they explored what randomness is all about and how it influences the movements of small objects. With illustrative experiments and short excursions into the world of probabilities, the participants experienced that there are clear mathematical rules behind the supposed chaos. And it was shown how the computer helps to calculate and understand these random movements.
