Prior to joining C³S, Michael Lenke worked as a researcher at Paderborn University in the field of computer science education. After completing his Master of Education for higher education in computer science and mathematics, he contributed to the Erasmus+ project TeaEdu4CT – Future Teachers Education: Computational Thinking and STEAM, where he developed teaching concepts for the education of future primary school teachers. He subsequently joined the Collaborative Research Center TRR 318 Constructing Explainability, where he designs and conducts workshops aimed at improving people’s interaction with and understanding of artificial intelligence.
