The competition for kids and teens between the ages of 11 and 14 was held by the Teßmann library between September and October 2022. In addition to the tablets, the prizes included tickets for the Cineplexx and a visit to the terraXcube, the extreme climate simulator from Eurac Research.
Ötzit! is a game developed as part of the "Zeit.shift" project (
https://all4ling.eurac.edu/de/projekte/zeitshift/) in which around 500,000 pages of historical daily and weekly newspapers from the entire Tyrolean region were digitised and will be made freely accessible in a web portal from May 2023. The development of games, citizen science activities as well as e-learning courses aim at promoting the population’s awareness for the importance of historical text heritage and at facilitating access to digitised historical collections.
Zeit.shift is a project financed by the European Regional Development Fund and Interreg V-A Italy-Austria 2014-2020 and by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano - South Tyrol.
