Amongst the 22 teams at work in the Phyrtual Innovation Gym for the Coding Girls final coding marathon (see news: Coding and Technology), there also are students from four schools participating in Project Meet No Neet, part of the global Microsoft YouthSpark Programme.
The schools are
- Via Copernico - Pomezia (Rome)
- Galileo Ferraris - Naples
- IIS di Ceccano - Frosinone
- M. Buonarroti - Frascati (Rome)
This year, Project Meet no Neet also includes new tracks dedicated to coding. The programme provides young students with innovative tools that improve the competences necessary to find a job, such as experiential training, coding, project management, etc.
The objective is to contribute to the national social and economic development by helping youth develop ideas, implement their entrepreneurial projects and access the job market.
The project is based on three phases:
- Experiential Training
- Planning and Crowdfunding
- Discovery Talent Contest including a hackathon and fair
