General Information

As a software developer with a specialization in mobile applications, you are a programmer and designer in one. You ensure that the apps work on users' mobile devices, look appealing, and are fun to use.
For the job, you need a certain understanding of technology and design. You need to understand the requirements and wishes of the clients and develop a product that is reliable, updatable, and easy for users to understand and use.
What experience should you bring with you?
For the online preliminary competition, you must be able to understand tasks in English and should be able to develop simple apps. The programming language you use is up to you.
For the German Championship, the international Albert Einstein Cup, and the WorldSkills, we will be using the framework Flutter with the Dart programming language. These competition rounds are about developing and designing user interfaces, connecting to web APIs, and using integrated sensors.
We will offer an online workshop about Flutter and Dart after the online preliminary competition, and hold multiple training camps preparing you for the later rounds.
