WE ARE THE
JGI BERLIN
The “Junge Gesellschaft für Informatik” (JGI) is an open forum of young tech-savvy people who think outside the box. We are members of the German Informatics Society (GI) and represent it in the university group in Berlin and Brandenburg at all universities.
Our goal is to be the first point-of-contact for IT-related degrees. We aim to provide high quality events and meaningful partnerships with industry and research partners. It is important for us that students can be supported by us in all stages of their studies.
OUR MISSION
Workshops & Coachings
Learning and passing on knowledge are very close to our hearts. That’s why we regularly host workshops & coachings on computer science and career topics. We also provide mentoring programs for younger semesters by club members who are already more advanced in their studies. We encourage members to participate in the mentoring provided by the German Informatics Society (Gesellschaft für Informatik).
Theme Nights
You might be thinking Zelda theme nights. We instead refer to the gathering of multiple experts sharing their experiences and knowledge on a specific topic with us. We enable each other to engage face-to-face for a valuable discussion.
Hackathons
At hackathons, we collaborate for a hands-on tackling of concrete problems. We participate in well-known challenges on a national and international level. Moreover, we plan to design a hackathon for cross-functional teams ourselves. A key focus of our hackathons is interdisciplinarity.
Open Source Contributions
Using gathered knowledge for ourselves only is boring. We strive to share our expertise by contributing to open-source projects, allowing us to give back and be part of larger communities. We currently investigate ways to pro-bono extend existing digital learning platforms for schools on a national level.
Social Events
Of course, we’re not just here to develop clever ideas and solve problems. True to the motto ‘people who code together drink together’, we meet bi-weekly for fun bar nights where we bond over a drink or two.
