JvNU is forging future pathways
Eighty high school students had a unique opportunity to attend the 5-day Neumann Innovation Camp, a collaborative event between John von Neumann University and PEOPLE TEAM. The camp offered students a glimpse into daily university life while introducing them to future technologies, sciences, and careers.
Each morning, participants delved into academic subjects at the Faculty of Economics and Business and the GAMF Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science. The afternoons and evenings were filled with a diverse range of activities, including lectures, interactive workshops, and creative sessions focused on career guidance, self-awareness, and skill development.
The camp was structured around six key themes, each designed to bring future professions and technologies to life for the students:
- Everything is Programmable: Students explored the basics of Minecraft programming, smart home technology, self-driving cars, and the fundamentals of robotics and image processing.
- Game Development: Using Unity software, participants learned to create a complete game from scratch, gaining the skills to develop their own projects.
- Everything about 3D: This section focused on 3D modeling, scanning, and printing, providing hands-on experience with these cutting-edge technologies.
- Vehicles and Machines: Students gained insight into vehicle painting, welding, and the use of plastics in manufacturing, learning about the details of production and design.
- Management and Business: Through stock market simulation games, participants developed financial literacy and economic knowledge. The program also included sessions on marketing trends and culinary topics.
- Trends in Logistics: Young people learned about the modern challenges of logistics, covering topics like production logistics, industry terminology, and even a logistics board game.
PEOPLE TEAM organized afternoon programs focused on practical life skills. Students learned first aid, stress management techniques, and received guidance on conscious money management and the university admissions process. The Worldcafé program allowed them to have informal conversations with professionals to understand different careers and their practical applications. The camp concluded with a roundtable discussion about the vibrant student life at the university.
The Neumann Innovation Camp provided participants with more than just knowledge—it offered memorable experiences, new connections, and a clearer vision for their future. The program was completely free for students who were recommended by their school principals. The organizers hope this initiative will continue to help young people make confident decisions about their studies and find their place in the future.
