This initiative, promoted by CINECA and IFAB with the patronage of the Regional School Office of Emilia-Romagna and the Regional Legislative Assembly, offers hands-on laboratory activities for upper secondary school students across the region. The two scheduled sessions aim to give students the opportunity to test themselves in the practical use of AI and emerging technologies to address different classes of problems. Participants will learn the concrete steps required to solve a problem and work in teams to tackle a challenge that can be approached using artificial intelligence models.
