The Lichtwerkstatt Jena offers an extensive program of events. Depending on their individual prior knowledge, participants can choose between the Basic and Pro levels. Here are upcoming events:

  • Introduction into Programming with Python (english) 
    October, 8th to 10th 2025, from 9:30am to 4:30pm at SR 113, Carl-Zeiß-Straße 3, FSU Jena

    Tsssss! It’s time to brush up on your Parseltongue skills — or learn them for the first time. In collaboration with the Abbe School of Photonics, we organized a 3-day intensive course in October on the ever-popular programming language Python 🐍
    Jonathan and his colleagues will introduce you to the basics of programming as well as all sorts of useful libraries and tools needed for your studies and future career. You’ll learn how to structure programs, manage structured data, read and write files, perform complex calculations with NumPy, and visualize data with Matplotlib. The exercises will mainly focus on problems from physics, but the course is open to everyone.
    To register (or if you have any questions), just send a quick, informal email to anmeldung@lichtwerkstatt-jena.de
