This week nearly 40 labs will be held by Fondazione Mondo Digitale Coaches in schools, the digital environments at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym and other facilities dedicated to the development of digital competences, such as the Milan Microsoft House and Binario F at the Rome Termini Railway Station. The labs will involve students, teachers, school administrators, over-60s, retired craftsmen, women, entrepreneurs and migrants. The projects include: Ambizione Italia for Schools, Coding visuale, ISEV, Open Space, Share School, She Means Business, Amongst Generations, Living Digital, Welcome and +WE- Wurth Experience.
Programme Ambizione Italia for Schools is leading to the creation of new school hubs dedicated to the development of digital competences. The first hubs to start are the Piaget-Diaz in Rome, the Marconi di Civitavecchia and the Marconi in Nocera Inferiore that will hold workshops on artificial intelligence.
OpenSpace, the project selected by Con i Bambini for the Fund for Contrasting the Educational Poverty of Minors, is developing a Phyrtual Innovation Gym at the Istituto comprensivo Madre Teresa di Calcutta in Milan. Throughout the week, digital manufacturing labs will be held for students and teachers.
European Projects ISEV and Welcome will also hold workshops at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym, while a project meeting will be held for Accord on February 26-27 in Germany.
In Rome, digital literacy courses based on the intergenerational learning model continue for over-60s with school students, trained by the FMD, acting as tutors, coordinated by a teacher. Moreover, Project Going Digital will open the Computer Labs of 8 schools to local elderly centre members in the following neighbourhoods: Albertelli, Bachelet, Bottardi, Einaudi, Gasmann, Mameli, Keplero and Via Papareschi. On Thursday, the first lesson will be held for members of the Villa Lais Elderly Centre at the De Chirico-Confalonieri and Val Cannuta al Bachelet Schools.
The week will end with a “family format” Robotics Lab at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym t the Elderly for students aged 6-10 and their parents or grandparents [see news: The Emotion of Learning Together]. And, as usual, the Fab Lab is always open for makers over the weekend.
