“We have to raise the awareness of young men and women on the opportunities available in the technological sector by promoting the importance of inclusion of diversities as a key element for success. If we promote this type of culture and awareness, we will develop a better future,” points out Fabio Funari, CSR Lead at DELL.
A new collaboration begins with Dell Technologies Italia to orient young men and women towards STEM subjects through an experiential and immersive education, in synergy with Project Digital Futures.
The pilot edition will involve six first-degree secondary school classes in six schools with on-line activities to experiment ludically with coding and digital manufacturing. A mini- docuseries will document the experiences of the students with technology.
