A Transformative Experience

It’s their first time in a digital manufacturing laboratory. The young women studying at IIS Tognazzi De Cillis in Naples are transforming their entrepreneurial ideas into reality at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym Fab Lab [see news: Strollerbag]. In order to improve the travel experience of parents, they have created a stroller that can be folded into a bag when it is no longer needed. Their creation, Strollerbag, is finally starting to take shape ...

 

Cecilia Stajano, School Innovation Coordinator and Manager for Project Women in Technology, interviewed Annarosa, Maria and Sara while they were at work with modelling software and prototyping machinery. Caught by surprise and not used to speaking in public, the aspiring entrepreneurs were very shy, but they managed to convey their satisfaction for the learning experience that surprised and transformed them.

 

 

During the training session, the students were supported by Coach Cecilia Lalatta Costerbosa, who brought the original educational programme to four regions. Women in Technology, is a project promoted by the Costa Crociere Foundation. The young women created innovative solutions to improve the travel experience, developed their entrepreneurial ideas and created prototypes in the digital manufacturing labs. In order to cover the expenses, they launched crowdfunding campaigns on Phyrtual.org, a social innovation platform.
