Pasquale Nocera’s enthusiasm is contagious. The sixteen-year-old digital ambassador for Project Make Learn Share Europe participated with his robotics friends in a training day held in Naples for the Coding Girls Summer School.
The coaches at IIS G. Marconi in Nocera Inferiore have developed a complete course from programming robots to competitions … and Pasquale was flabbergasted by the result of the young women! [see news: Coding with Robots].
Cecilia Stajano, FMD School Innovation Coordinator, recorded Pasquale’s sincere revelation of how he, too, was a victim of prejudice, not believing how good and interested in robotics the young women proved to be.
Today, the Summer School is in Rome for a training day at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym Fab Lab with another intense programme covering 3D Modelling to Prototype Development. The coach is Matteo Viscogliosi, assisted by Andrada (17), a student at the Liceo Artistico Alessandro Caravillani.
Andrada discovered the Phyrtual Innovation Gym Fab Lab last month, thanks to the school-work programme on “Modelling and 3D Printing” during which he developed his first design lamp. Now, she is a classroom tutor, a beautiful promise for the Coding Girls!
The second edition of the Summer School is part of Programme Coding Girls, promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and the American Embassy in Italy in collaboration with Microsoft. In Naples, the Consulate General of the United States always provides precious support.
