The project with schools in Piedmont ends with two challenges
The third edition of Project Roll Cloud – Working in the Cloud will end with two creative days. The innovative course that introduces lower and upper secondary school students in Piedmont to the cloud and the professions of the future has involved ca. 3000 young men and women this year. Promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale ETS, is part of Opening Future, a joint project organised by Google Cloud, Intesa Sanpaolo, and TIM Enterprise, which is dedicated to the development of digital skills.
Over the course of the year, FMD trainers and professionals from partner companies coached lower and upper secondary school students in Piedmont on a creative challenge addressing the enabling technology of the cloud, helping them develop digital products (videos, blogs, websites, and video games). They analysed cloud services and imagined possible improvements. They met with business experts, participated in orientation sessions and creative challenges to discover new job profiles and future scenarios related to technology and, in particular, cloud computing. Now, along with their coaches, the students will work in groups on a new challenge on sustainability that will only be revealed at the event. At the end of the joint work session, the teams will present their products to a jury of experts.
The creative challenge days will take place in Turin’s Area X. April 18 will be reserved for students in lower secondary school and the first two-years of upper secondary school, while May 9 is for students in the last three years of upper secondary school.
64 students have been accredited for the first date. They will be divided into 13 groups, corresponding to the number of projects selected among the 62 submitted. They will be accompanied by 11 professors and supported by five business experts (1 from TIM Enterprise, 2 from Intesa Sanpaolo, 2 from Google Cloud) and two FMD coaches (Antonio Succi and Monica Cauduro).
