Welcome! Willkommen!

This is the home page of Lukas Convent. Professionally, I teach computer science and maths at Ernst-Barlach-Gymnasium in Schönberg (MV). On this website you will mainly find content related to computer science and mathematics, as well as science and technology more generally. See also my blog and my projects.

If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to send me an email − I also welcome ideas for collaboration on new and existing projects!

Upcoming

2026-02-21	Hamstersimulator Reloaded I've been working on a new web-based version of the Hamstersimulator. The Java-Hamster-Modell was developed by Dr.-Ing. Dietrich Boles and helps students to learn imperative programming in Java in a fun way. The plan is to extend the following platform by additional worlds and als a Python frontend. For now I just put online the alpha version for private usage in school. Keep tuned for when it will all be published on a website together with code, explanations, teaching material etc. For now the goal was to emulate all imperative features (no OOP) and thanks to Dietrich Boles even the original graphics can be used. Any bug reports, suggestions, ... are welcome of course. Happy coding! Link to the alpha version: https://tailrunner.mainlab.site
2025-10-05	Participation at the National Science on Stage Festival From September 26–28, 2025, the National Science on Stage Festival took place in Radebeul. Fifty teaching projects had been selected, and I was there with the SQL Game Console and presented it via a poster. It was a fantastic event – I met so many kind people and saw a wealth of exciting projects! A few highlights: I was very delighted to meet my former teacher Tobias Hübner, who has been developing wonderful technology projects for children for many years. My roommate Robin Derichs has been a beekeeper since before becoming a teacher and presented a great project on a digital beehive that he carried out with his students. Marco Düvelmeyer designed an absolutely impressive 3D printing and robotics project for the classroom, complete with a YouTube channel for self-directed learning, and I was lucky to have a long car ride with him to exchange even more ideas. My former computer science mentor Tino Hempel also came along to gather new ideas for teaching. So many inspiring people and projects — a very fun event! Robin Rozmann from the podcast Leerer Talk was also at the festival and had a short chat with me: Link to Spotify (starting at 19:10). A journalist from Ostseezeitung visited us at our school and wrote an article about the project.
