ExplorAItion Day at Deutsche Telekom Headquarters
B-IT international Master students had the exclusive possibility to participate in the ExplorAItion day of Deutsche Telekom. The day themed ‚Let’s break silos, foster collaboration, and elevate AI initiatives‘ was organized by the company-wide AI Community at Deutsche Telekom headquarters in Bonn on 18th November.
The master students had the chance to dive into a great variety of cutting-edge ‚AI‘ topics discussed in numerous sessions, workshops, keynotes or presented at market places on two levels within Deutsche Telekom’s (DT) main building. After being warmly welcomed by Telekom’s Employer Branding and HR Team as a group, the international Master students inscribed in the b-it degrees ‚Autonomous systems‘ or ‚Media informatics‘ were free to choose the topics and sessions appealing to them the most. During lunch at the group touchpoint, questions and ideas about thesis topics could directly be issued and discussed with the accompanying DT team. Finally, after another round of sessions in the afternoon, the day ended with a relaxed after work session to connect and reflect together about all the news and AI developments discovered during the ExplorAItion Day.
The company visit was initiated by the b-it study program team and the Transfer Center enaCom at University of Bonn following up on the successful collaboration between the Transfer Center enaCom, the Lamarr institute and DT Customer Experience Data Scientists for an exceptional hackathon event in 2024 (#Hack4BestCX).
“Company visits are a wonderful experience for students to learn and think about model- and AI applications in different industries and to ‘look behind the scences’ of potential future employers in our region” says Daniela Treutlein, innovation scout at enaCom and co-initiator of the event accompanying the group during the day.
Great to see that both sides – organisers and students – went home satisfied and inspired by AI!
