Today, the Phyrtual Innovation Gym Immersive Lab will host a primary school class from the Don Michele Rua School from the Istituto comprensivo Rita Levi Montalcini in Rome.
The lab has been organized as part of Project “BYE: Build Your Experience” (May 2016 - May 2017), an initiative by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale financed by Google for Education as part of the Google RISE Awards 2016, the annual grant reserved for non-profit organisations that promote STEM disciplines amongst youth with less access to the study of scientific and technical subjects.
In particular, the lab provides young Italian female students (6-16), prevalently from the Regione Lazio, with the experience of experiential storytelling.
In the video, Coach Lara Forgione explains how she has organized the lab in three activities: storytelling tools, videogame conception and virtual reality.
