Amongst the thousands of inventions from 61 countries hosted by the Rome Maker Faire (Oct. 12-14, 2018), there will also be the project developed by nine young women from the Liceo Scientifico Vito Volterra in Ciampino (Rome).
At their first Maker Faire as exhibitors, Alessia, Maria, Simona, Siria, Chiara, S., Miriam, Chiara G., Francesca and Chiara T. will showcase their inventions that were transformed into prototpes at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym Fab Lab, thanks to Project Women in Technology, promoted with the support of the Costa Crociere Foundation.
Women in Technology (WIT) is an original training course for young women involving 220 students from Sicily, Calabria, Campania and Lazio. For over one year, the young women worked to develop their business ideas related to travel, developing prototypes in Fab Labs and looking for potential investors through crowdfunding campaigns on Phyrtual.org [see news: WiT Project Winners].
