As part of Girls' Day 2026, doctoral students from the human-centered systems lab offered a workshop for schoolgirls. In the workshop, they learned how to recognize human emotions using biosignals capturing human activity such as heart or gaze activity on the basis of sensor technologies. Following a human-centered design process, the schoolgirls worked together in teams to explore the context of use, articulate user  needs and requirements, create a prototypical emotion-adaptive app and evaluate it with users. 

The Girls’ Day took place at KD2Lab (https://www.kd2lab.kit.edu/)  and was co-organized in cooperation with the DFG-funded KD2School (https://www.kd2school.kit.edu/) and the Wir Forschen Digital initiative (https://wir-forschen.digital/).
