Under the motto “Research, Discover, and Marvel,” 32 students spent their summer vacation at the Electrical Engineering Science Camp at KIT Karlsruhe, where they explored automation in everyday life. They learned the basics of the technology and smart homes, experimented with sensors and actuators, and developed their own projects using wood and 3D printing.
Excursions to Siemens and the IPE provided insights into research and industry. Recreational activities rounded out the program.

As part of the GenAI@KIT project, the KIT Senate is testing AI-assisted meeting minutes generation for the first time. The target is to determine how AI can assist in drafting meeting minutes and what requirements must be met for its responsible use. Data processing is carried out exclusively on KIT’s local systems. During the pilot phase, the AI-generated drafts will be compared with the manual minutes that continue to be prepared in parallel to evaluate quality, effort, and benefits. The pilot project aims to gather practical experience and gain insights for potential future use cases.
