After the walk, we gathered at the hotel, where all project participants settled during the training, for the first working meeting. Here we discussed the program of activities and were treated to traditional Italian pasta with pizza.
The program of the remaining three days of events was drawn up in such a way that our training began at 9.30 and continued until 13.00.
At 16.00 we met at the appointed places in Rome with our guide Eleonora Maiani and traveled on foot around the city. We visited the Jewish Quarter, the Tiber Island, Trastevere, the Coliseum and the Vatican.
During the course, we were introduced to the following topics:
Practical recommendations for teaching programming. EleanorTulumello.
Ict and new teaching methods. Julia Augusto.
STEM and robotics: a dialogue with machines. David de Martino.
Coding Practice: Tales in Binary Code. Eleanora Tulumello.

In the evenings we gathered for friendly meetings of the project team in various cafes offered to us by the head of Infol, Francesco Cuccari.
On November 19, 2021, the final meeting took place at the Capitoline Museum, where we were awarded certificates of participation in the project meeting in Rome.
Many thanks to the head of Infol Francesco Cuccari and the ICT specialist Daniela Angeloni for the good organization of the meeting.
