Educational sessions continue to be held as part of School Accelerator, the project organised in collaboration with Lazio Innova for high schools in Lazio in the run-up to RomeCup, which will be held phyrtually on April 27-30, 2021. The project was developed by the Startup School Academy, a programme to orient young students towards self-enterprise and social innovation to face the post-Covid-19 future.
High schools in Lazio are called to work on the production and development of innovative ideas in:
- Robotics
- Lifestyle
- Life Sciences
- 5G
- Social Fragility
The best ideas will be presented at RomeCup 2021 (April 27-30, 2021).
The activities are organised into four phases:
- Distance learning for schools
- Conception and validation of ideas
- Selection of the best ideas and production
- Presentation at RomeCup
The next lesson on The Innovator’s Steps will be held tomorrow (Friday, February 26 from 12 to 1 pm). The session, dedicated to the generation of ideas, will be held by Cecilia Stajano [@CStajano], Community Manager at the Fondazione Mondo Digitale.
“Generating ideas” means employing one’s capability to resolve complex problems through a global vision and the creative management of the development process. It can therefore be defined as a whole of cognitive, strategic and practical processes through which to develop new products and services.
