University of Pisa: Presentation of Project "Computer Science First"
IT is one of the topics on which Italian teachers would like to have more training: only 36% feel prepared against a 43% OECD average (Desi 2022). The Fondazione Mondo Digitale ETS contributes to the diffusion of digital culture in schools with an engaging and personalized teaching model that promotes the integration of activities, methodologies, and contents to develop STEM skills, in line with Mission 4 of the PNRR.
At the presentation event of Project CS First, the Fondazione Mondo Digitale ETS and Google, together with institutional interlocutors, will illustrate the applications of computer science for teaching. The protagonists of previous editions will also participate. Participants will be able to discuss joining the course with the organizers.
