Two young guitarists meet at the Officina – New Jobs Workshop Fab Lab and decide to build a musical instrument together. With the help of their coach, they design and assemble a ukulele, an original instrument of Portuguese-Hawaiian origin, which is increasingly used in pop and rock arrangements thanks to its peculiar sound.
The project is described by twenty-two year old Alberto from Rome, who has a diploma as an orthodontist and loves music.
The Officina – New Jobs Workshop is a project conceived by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Google to promote digital skills and implement professional training and orientation activities for 10,000 young men and women currently looking for a job. The initiative has been organised with the patronage of the Italian Ministry of Labour and Social Policy and the collaboration of the Ministry of Education, University and Research, the Regione Lazio and Roma Capitale.
