New IT training at the University of Trier: Focus on teachers!
Something is happening in education in Rhineland-Palatinate! Today, November 3, 2025, the University of Trier presented an innovative further training course in computer science for teachers. This new program is a real stroke of luck for teachers who want to gain further qualifications in this important subject. It is aimed at teachers of all subjects who want to teach computer science, and for the first time this further training is being offered part-time.
At the start, the Minister of Education Sven Teuber signed a cooperation agreement with Prof. Dr. Matthias Busch, Vice President for Studies, Teaching and Continuing Education. Around 30 teachers from different regions have already registered for the first round. The need for qualified teachers is high given the new compulsory subject of computer science, which was introduced in 28 pilot schools this school year.
Practical further training with a vision for the future
The training lasts four semesters and focuses on practical content. After successful completion, participants are allowed to teach at secondary level I; Three more semesters are necessary for the upper level. Dr. Jacqueline Staub, junior professor of computer science and its didactics, emphasizes how important sound technical and didactic knowledge is for teaching. The goal: Computer science should be systematically anchored in lessons and prepare students for the requirements of a digitalized world.
Consequently, the University of Trier plays a central role in the qualification of these specialists, thereby laying the foundation for sustainable education. It remains to be seen what impact this educational initiative will have on teachers and students in Rhineland-Palatinate. Given the rapid developments in the digital world, this is a step in the right direction.
A look into the digital world of gaming
There are 25 new experiences on the agenda, including exciting titles like “Peaky Blinders: Garrison Lane” and “Jurassic World”. The new version of Game Maker also offers exciting possibilities, such as new character abilities and improved multiplayer experiences. The NFTs, which represent the assets in the game, allow players to own and trade their own. These developments could provide a boost to the in-game economy and spark a new wave of creative interaction in the metaverse.
The founder of The Sandbox hopes that this new season will not only increase the number of players, but also stimulate general interest in creative content. The reaction to the new features shows both excitement and caution, as technical problems are always an issue.
In summary, both educational institutions and the gaming world are seeing exciting developments. As Rhineland-Palatinate teachers prepare for new challenges in computer science education, The Sandbox opens doors to creative and interactive experiences. Time will tell whether these initiatives have the potential to sustainably change the digital landscape.
