Last week, Cristiano, Andrea and Alessandro, students at IIS Ferrari in Rome, participated in a mini-hackathon at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym. Interviewed by Debora Cavallo, they describe the ideas and projects proposed to improve the daily lives of people, including those with disabilities.
Project eSkills4Change (Dec. 2017 – Dec. 2018) is funded as part of the global YouthSpark Programme. Microsoft and the Fondazione Mondo Digitale will work jointly to provide over 10,000 young men and women (aged 15-24) throughout Italy in educational activities to provide them with more opportunities in education, employment and enterprise.
