We are looking for motivated scientific assistants (HiWis) to join us in the "TUMSphere" project, a pioneering initiative at the intersection of VR and programming education. Our goal is not just to revolutionize how programming is taught but to shape the future of education itself by creating an immersive, interactive, and hands-on learning environment using virtual reality (VR).

As a scientific assistant, you will contribute to:

• Conducting research to identify key challenges in programming education.
• Designing and developing VR modules that visually represent programming concepts.
• Testing, refining, and iterating on VR prototypes based on user feedback.
• Analyzing data on engagement, comprehension, and user experience.
• Collaborating with educators, students, and subject matter experts.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of educational technology, combining your passion for programming, VR, and research.
