Project School Accelerator is part of the StartUp School Academy Programme by Lazio Innova and RomeCup, the event dedicated to robotics and life sciences that the Fondazione Mondo Digitale has promoted since 2007.
During the first phase, the project will hold courses, via webinars, for high school students in the Regione Lazio (open to more schools than the subsequent phase) on the key issues to face the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.
High schools in Lazio will compete to develop innovative ideas in the following fields:
- Robotics
- Lifestyle
- Life Sciences
- 5G
- Social Fragility
The best ideas will be presented at Romecup 2021 (April 27-30, 2021).
Activities will take place in four phases from January to May:
- Courses in schools (distance learning)
- Conception and validation of ideas
- Selection of (10) best ideas and production
- Presentation at RomeCup 2021 (April)
Today – Wednesday, February 10 from 10-11:30 – the second general webinar dedicated to "Lifestyle" will be held by Matteo Viscogliosi and Irene Caretti, expert coaches at the Fondazione Mondo Digitale.
The young innovators will be welcomed by Stefano Gigli (Lazio Innova) and Fiammetta Castagnini (Fondazione Mondo Digitale).
The objective of the webinar is to introduce students to digital manufacturing and sustainable design, to develop projects whose production and use may contribute to promoting a sustainable and responsible lifestyle.
