Ambizione Italia for Cybersecurity: a successful educational model
According to the Treccani Encyclopaedia definition, a hacker is an "expert in programming and telematic networks who, pursuing the objective of democratizing access to information and animated by ethical principles, works to increase the freedom of a closed system and to teach others how to keep it free and efficient.” And this is the meaning experienced by the young students who participated in the Hacker vs Hacker course and the final hackathon at the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome, as part of the Programme Ambizione Italia for Cybersecurity. The experience was particularly appreciated by managers, teachers and students. Claudia Bellela, who contributed to the success of the event, is receiving many positive messages. Here is a short selection:

There are no words to thank the Foundation for having provided us with so many emotions... A strong and heartfelt thanks from our entire school community, Headmaster, teachers, parents, and students ...
A very current, very interesting and well-articulated project with a final hackathon that really enthralled and enthused our students. I was sorry I could not be present .... from the feedback I received from colleagues and students, I understand that it was a special experience. Congratulations!
