Coding Girls: winners from the hackathon at the University of Pisa
A new leg of the national Coding Girls has just ended with the hackathon hosted by the University of Pisa, at the “Polo Fibonacci,” with coaches Paula Dominique Regalado Avila and Giulia Falaschi.
The challenge featured 51 students, mostly young women (28), from two high schools: the technical G. Marconi Institute in Pontedera and the Liceo G. Carducci in Viareggio. The students addressed the issue of freedom, to be developed with an app and Marvel Software, organized in 11 teams, supervised by students at the University of Pisa: Bruno Barbieri, Federica Buoncompagni, Claudio Bernardoni, Filipe Bertolucci, and Claudia Porrello.
At the end of the common work session, the jury, composed by Chiara Bodei, Gianna Del Corso, Valeria Raglianti from the University of Pisa, and Helia and Cecilia Stajano from the FND, proclaimed the three winners and assigned three special mentions.
