On the WiPSCE 2026 (Workshop in Primary and Secondary Computing Education), the working group presented several current research projects as part of the poster session and engaged in intensive dialogue with the international specialist community.

The contribution was honoured at the conference with the Best Poster Award.

Another poster with the title From Concrete Actions to Abstract Concepts: Exploring Young Learners' Approach to Coding with Floor Robots from Nadine Dittert, Marisa Alena Holzapfel and Cornelia Große was presented at the conference by Nadine Dittert. As part of the project KreaSach Pro they investigated how young learners develop their first approaches to programming concepts through concrete actions with floor robots.
