    As part of Code Week Germany in Baden-Württemberg, TeamViewer was excited to open its doors to young tech enthusiasts, hosting a fun and engaging afternoon filled with coding, robotics, and Augmented Reality (AR) experiences at our Göppingen headquarters.

    Code Week is a Europe-wide initiative designed to inspire young people to explore technology, learn the basics of coding, and develop valuable digital skills. By participating, companies, schools, and organizations provide hands-on workshops, creating accessible learning opportunities that promote digital literacy and spark interest in technology from a young age.

    We welcomed over 20 kids to our headquarters, kicking off their visit with an introduction to TeamViewer and our technology. Our team also introduced them to block-based coding—a visual, beginner-friendly approach that helps kids understand the fundamentals of programming logic in an engaging way. Next, participants put their new skills to the test in our hands-on workshop, “Can You Escape the Maze?” Working in teams, they were challenged to program a robot’s escape route through a maze, encouraging problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. As a highlight of the day, our young guests also got a firsthand look at our AR solutions, discovering how digital innovation can blend with the physical world.

    Why Code Week Matters to TeamViewer?

    As a tech company, TeamViewer understands the importance of making technology accessible to all.
