Robotics Professors

“RomeCup is many things: competitions, visitors, robots, experts, winners, research, science, future, screwdrivers and soldering irons, but the main protagonists are the talented and passionate students,” points out Cecilia Stajano, Communty Coordinator at the Fondazione Mondo Digitale. "And behind the students who eagerly participate in the knowledge challenges are fantastic teachers and school managers. They are the silent protagonists who deserve to be recognised. Without their passionate involvement, RomeCup would not exist. They are the ones who decide to participate in the multi-event and inspire students to work in teams with passion, commitment, and dedication, to build and programme robots, to seek out innovative robotic solutions. Many teachers courageously fight against everyone and everything, full didactic programmes, and uninterested colleagues, while others enjoy the support of collaborative colleagues and forward-thinking school managers. The Fondazione Mondo Digitale is grateful to everyone for their commitment. Every year, they show us what learning with passion and fun means.”
