Computer Science/VR Lab

We live in an era of technology. It´s all around us, changing the way we communicate, learn, and create. Innovation driven by curiosity is what moves us forward. Here, we don´t wait or just observe – we create, explore, play, and discover. 

Technology isn´t just about code and screens – they are smart tools that make our lives easier and spark new ideas, experiences, and even solutions. Here, anyone can become the architect of their own digital universe.

How it works?

In the IT Lab, we learn technology through experience. We program, create games, control robots, design avatars, explore AI, and bring our ideas into virtual reality. From first steps in the digital world to advanced projects – creating digital twins, visualizing data, staying safe online, or developing our own game – that´s what this lab is all about.  

But it´s not only about tech skills – we also grow soft skills like critical and analytical thinking, communication and teamwork. Topics like internet safety, media literacy, and the ethics of technology matter to us, too. Creativity, curiosity, and fun always come first.
