On April 23, 2026, the Faculty of Applied Computer Science organized this year’s Girls' Day and of course we also participated again.

Based on the topic "Why do videos on TikTok sometimes look so bad?", we worked with about 20 girls to explore how video streaming works, what factors influence the Quality of Experience of video streams, and explained the underlying technical principles. We also provided a brief glimpse into our daily work as researchers. To wrap things up, two of our female student assistants talked about their career paths and shared what motivated them to study computer science.

All in all, it was a successful event, and we are looking forward to participating again next year.?
