Program Overview

Introduction to the Van A naar B Program

The Van A naar B program is a series of workshops designed to introduce students to the world of science and IT. The program is offered by the Universiteit Twente and is available for students in the 1-2 vwo level.

Program Description

The program consists of a series of workshops that aim to provide students with a hands-on experience in the field of science and IT. The workshops are designed to be interactive and engaging, and are led by experienced instructors. The program also includes a campus tour and a interactive campus game.

What to Expect

During the workshop, students will learn about the magic of Google Maps and the smart technology behind it. They will also learn about algorithms and how they are used to determine the shortest and most efficient routes. The workshop is designed to be a fun and interactive way for students to learn about science and IT.

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for students to participate in the program. However, it is recommended that students have a basic understanding of mathematics and computer science.

After the Workshop

After completing the workshop, students will have gained a basic understanding of algorithms and how they are used in everyday life. They will also have learned how to apply Dijkstra's algorithm to solve problems.
