Activities are underway for Project "2R - Reset&Recode", implemented with CPIA 3, directed by Ada Maurizio. The project aims to promote the social and professional re-insertion of young convicts at the “Casal del Marmo” Juvenile Detention Centre, introducing them to computers, coding and digital manufacturing through innovative educational activities. Today, Tuesday, June 19, the project will bring digital technology to the Regina Coeli Prison with a course on digital making held by Designer and Maker Matteo Viscogliosi, Fab Lab Coordinator at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym.
With the example of various laser-cut and 3D-printed objects, participants will begin to learn about Fab Labs and work on designing objects to represent characters or parts of stories. The group of inmates is already working with their professors on the story. Now, thanks to Project 2R - Reset&Recode, they will be able to transform it into digital storytelling.
Participants will acquire knowledge and know-how concerning the use of 3D printers. The lab, based on the conception, digital representation and production, will allow participants to enjoy highly gratifying and stimulating experience on the use of computer tools. Knowledge of digital craftsmanship is a fundamental element for understanding the production mechanisms, dynamics and outlook of technological and economic development.
