The project aims to transform the Corigliano-Rossano area into a laboratory of innovation for 240 students, their families and teachers. Two schools located in the same square in the historic centre of Rossano will be involved in 40 months of laboratory work in discovery of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics, sharpening their talents and passions and reinforcing their skills, going beyond the barrier of it’s too hard and learning what it means to become changemakers.
The Changemaker project aims to offer young participants and their educators an opportunity to experiment with conscientious, profitable use of digitalisation and technology as an accelerator of opportunities for growth and sharing. The intention is to encourage boys and, especially, girls to appreciate the attractions of science, encouraging them to creatively imagine scenarios that do not yet exist and are worth exploring.

The following activities will aim to accomplish all this: setting up tech laboratories (analogue and digital photography, videomaking and web radio, coding, robotics, fab lab sound design, virtual, augmented and immersive reality), train teachers, provide digital education for parents, and offer teaching, also in English, for young students aged 11-17, and attend conventions about STEAM disciplines.
