The Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Google are collaborating to promote digital and professional skills amongst youth. Registrations are now open for the free labs and training courses. The initiative is also supported by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, the Regione Lazio and Roma Capitale.
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Google have created a united front to provide youth with the opportunity to improve the skills that are most useful for life and work in the 21st century. The project will involve Italian school students in laboratories, workshops, courses, etc.
From digital manufacturing to enterprise innovation, from gaming to immersive reality, the Fondazione Mondo Digitale will offer free weekly courses at its centre.
Registration is now open for the following courses:
• Learning to use a laser cutter and 3D printer and typical Fab Lab tools;
• Robotics and new didactic methodologies to train youth for scientific-technological professions and robotics;
• Leadership, team building and motivation to practice 21st century skills;
• Video making with 3D animation and visual effects;
• Game development and interactive storytelling;
• Immersive technology and augmented reality.
