Technology for all ages: a free day in the heart of the VII Municipality
We invite citizens of all ages to enjoy an immersive experience at the Palestra dell'Innovazione (via del Quadraro 102), with a morning of free activities dedicated to creativity, digital education and social innovation. The event is scheduled for Saturday 20 September. The initiative, designed for families, students, teachers and citizens of the VII Municipality, offers a rich programme of experiential workshops to discover emerging technologies and train fundamental skills such as computational thinking, problem solving and the conscious use of digital tools.
The event is part of the Network of Digital Facilitation Centres, a project promoted by Roma Capitale with the support of third sector organisations, in response to the Lazio Region's call for proposals under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).
