We discuss a two-week summer course on “Network Science” and “Complex Systems” that we taught for 15 German high-school pupils of ages 16–18. In this course, we covered topics in graph theory, applied network science, programming, and dynamic systems alike. We find that “Network Science” is a well-suited course for introducing students to university-level mathematics. We reflect on difficulties regarding programming exercises and the discussion of more advanced topics in dynamic systems. We make the course material available and encourage fellow network scientists to organize similar outreach events.

解说：面向高中生的网络科学暑期课程

我们讨论了一个为期两周的暑期课程，主题是“网络科学”和“复杂系统”，我们为 15 名 16-18 岁的德国高中学生教授了该课程。在本课程中，我们涵盖了图论、应用网络科学、编程和动态系统等主题。我们发现“网络科学”是一门非常适合向学生介绍大学数学的课程。我们反思有关编程练习的困难和动态系统中更高级主题的讨论。我们提供课程材料，并鼓励网络科学家同行组织类似的外展活动。
