Open schools, labs, debates and three days of special events at the Reggia di Caserta. The National Digital School Plan Week, promoted by MIUR for the first anniversary of the plan, kicks off tomorrow.
You can register for the activities on the event site.
Starting tomorrow, the Reggia di Caserta will become a giant digital lab with over 45 hours of workshops and labs, involving over 50 schools in the presentation of projects, 2 hackathons and 6 areas to share experiences.
The Fondazione Mondo Digitale will be present with Mauro Del Santo, Coordinator of the Fab Lab at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym, in the Workshop Area with four two-hour labs dedicated to space design.
Participants will experiment with the Design Thinking Method, an efficient tool for tackling complex problems that can be adapted to any context, and learn to think about school space in a different manner.
Learning environments should be based on the educational activities that are hosted there and provide an answer to the transformation promoted by the National Digital School Plan.
