The Summer Lab students spent a week in classrooms and laboratories juggling the various disciplines, orienting themselves between electronic sensors and the synthesis of chemical substances, IT applications and electromedical equipment.
The students coming from Rimini, Benevento, Palermo, Foggia, Nardò (Le), Sora (Fr), Fano (PU), Novara, Frascati (Rm) and Rome told their dreams and aspirations during the selection process, which were then transformed into a busy calendar of activities, from seminars to work in the laboratories.
