The Interconnections Tour, part of the “Digital for the 3@rd Age. Engagement of Young Elders” Programme, begins today, November 27 in Perugia with a Health Hackathon, a coding marathon to conceive, design and develop new tools, devices and aides to improve the quality of life of elders [see news: A Health Challenge].
Tomorrow, the initiative will be in Terni for PopUpMaker, a “style maker” event. Participants will have just a few minutes to explain an idea and share their prototype, before discussing how to develop innovative solutions to improve the life of the elderly.
