After the World Hour of Coding Week in which they participated at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym last week, the three tutors, Agnese, Giorgia and Manuela, face a new challenge today: an entire morning of coding at IIS Pacinotti-Archimede, from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm. The CodingGirls Junior Event is part of the Digital Literacy Thematic Week promoted by the Rome Città Educativa.
This is an original strategy devised by the school to provide orientation through concrete activities to last-year students that will allow them to experiment hands-on with new technologies.
The morning will be divided into two sessions: a common one involving 120 students in tests, games and animations and a reserved session for 25 young programmers that will work on developing a videogame.
Who are the tutors?
• Agnese Trozzo, 23, has a degree in computer science and is currently studying for a Masters in Multimedia Computing Interaction. Her passions? Coding and the web.
• Giorgia di Tommaso, 24, also has a degree in computer science and is studying for a Masters. She loves graphics and new technolgoies and develops Android apps in her free time.
• Manuela Benedetti, 25, is also studying for a Masters Degree in Multimedia Computing and Interaction. She loves artificial intelligence and is especially interested in usability aspects.
Agnese, Giorgia and Manuela, aged respectively 23, 24 and 25, earned their computer science degree at Sapienza University in Rome and were trained by American coaches Ashley Gavin and Elizabeth Caudle (both 27 years old) at the CodingGirls Rome-USA Event. Their work is now coordinated by Cecilia Stajano (School Innovation Manager, FMD).
