Description
This grant initiative, run by the European Commission in partnership with Fondazione LINKS, aims to promote digital innovation and coding education across Italy as part of EU Code Week. The program is designed to support grassroots projects that foster the digital skills of young people, with a special focus on girls and underrepresented groups in STEM. Projects should emphasize innovative and scalable coding activities, integration of programming into educational settings, and active involvement from students, teachers, and parents. Collaboration among educational stakeholders is strongly encouraged, and proposals that address the gender gap and support diversity in STEM are prioritized.
