After the webinar dedicated to teachers, activities for students kick off as part of Project IoT Acceleration. Today, the appointment at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym is for students at the Liceo Giuseppe Peano in Monterotondo (Rome), one of the six schools participating in the project. The lab will be held by Coach Luca Frogheri.
IoT Acceleration, promoted by the Fondazione Lars Magnus Ericsson and the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, is a project-competition that aims to introduce new generations to the “connected society” and avoid phenomena such as educational, skill and digital mismatch. The project addresses upper school students, orienting students towards technical and scientific culture, promoting a responsible use of connected devices. With a special focus on mobility, transport and tourism, 220 young men and women will follow courses and 20 will be admitted to “accelerated” programmes, using a variety of devices, including the Ericsson IoT Accelerator.
