The Scrum process model is widely used in practice and therefore particularly important for your future professional life. We would therefore like to explore Scrum in more depth in a practical unit that serves as a supplement to existing software engineering courses.
In just four hours, we will simulate how software development could proceed over a period of four months. To achieve a 672-fold acceleration, we will not be developing software, but will instead build a Lego city together.
Would you like to (a) have fun, (b) train your teamwork skills, (c) learn about Scrum, (d) not miss out on a highlight of your studies, (e) see how a Lego city is built in an hour, or (f) simply see 100,000 Lego pieces in action? Then come along!
The first Braunschweig Lego Scrum took place on Wednesday, 25 June 2025, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the plaza in front of the Computer Science Centre. The next Lego Scrum is planned for the winter semester of 2025/2026. All students of computer science and computer science-related courses are eligible to participate. Participation is only possible after prior registration.
If you have any questions, please contact Thomas Thüm and Ruben Dunkel.
Within an hour of construction time, 30 students developed a Lego city. All customer requests for the city had to be taken into account, which led to multiple renovations and even new construction. The students divided themselves into six teams of four to six people and mastered communication within and across teams. Despite the difficult circumstances, the result is impressive:
