Last Monday, February 4, the Going Digital programme ended at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym Fab Lab with a workshop dedicated to digital manufacturing tools. The over-60s from the “Marvasi” Elderly Centre and their tutors, students from IIS Evangelista Torricelli, produced their first keychain, designed and developed with digital manufacturing tools [see news: Mixing It Up]. The workshop was coordinated by maker and Phyrtual Innovation Gym Coach Daniele Vigo.
Cecilia Stajano and Eleonora Curatola recorded the emotions and opinions of the protagonists of this unusual adventure right after the workshop.
Vittoria: We have discovered how to move from fantasy to reality
Liliana: Understanding how these machines operate is extraordinary
Sandra and Martina (students): We met some very interested and curious grandmothers
Daniele (maker): Over-60s? They are as undisciplined as young students!
