On the morning of February 20, 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming 20 enthusiastic students from Tamási Áron High School to our university as part of the Career Orientation Day. The aim of the program was to provide high school students with a first-hand experience of the opportunities available in higher education and to give them insight into the scientific and technological work carried out at our institution.
The visit began with an engaging career orientation lecture, during which Tamás Beleznay introduced students to various professional paths and career opportunities. The session was interactive, allowing participants not only to listen but to actively engage in discussions, ask questions, and receive personalized advice regarding their future studies and career choices.
As the morning continued, the students visited the IROB Robotics Laboratory, where they had the chance to explore the innovative research projects conducted at our university. In addition to learning about ongoing projects, they also gained a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities students face while working in a research lab. They were introduced to the latest robotics developments and got a taste of what it feels like to be part of real scientific research.
The final stop of the program was the IT Evolution Exhibition, where the group embarked on an exciting time-travel journey through the world of informatics. The exhibition allowed students to explore the displayed artifacts at their own pace, showcasing the key milestones in the development of computing—from its earliest days to the present. From vintage computers to cutting-edge technology, they encountered fascinating exhibits that provided a comprehensive overview of the field’s incredible advancements over the decades.
Throughout the visit, students not only gained valuable information but also acquired first-hand experiences about university life and scientific work. We hope that this inspiring day will help guide them in their career choices and that many of them will return to us as university students in the future!
