from school desks to #mfr2024, THE CALL FOR schools IS open!
Schools, teachers, students and dreamers we are waiting for you!
Bring your creative and original idea to Call for Schools and introduce it with your school to the public of the 12nd edition of Maker Faire Rome 2024.
Since its first edition in 2013, Maker Faire Rome has given space to the creativity of young people – the true, incredible wealth of our country – and enhanced the constant commitment and dedication of all teachers who contribute on a daily basis to making the talents and qualities of all students shine through innovative initiatives, projects and educational programmes.
The objective of Call for Schools
Call for Schools 2024 aims to promote innovation among schools through the dissemination of digital culture and the development of individual and collective entrepreneurship, rewarding the projects deemed most worthy.
Participation in Call for Schools 2024 is free and open to all Italian upper secondary schools and similar schools belonging to the European Union (students aged 14-18 years).
The Exhibition Event will take place from 25th to 27th October 2024 at Fiera di Roma.
Conferences, workshops, webinars and other training and information events will be held mainly digitally, also on dates other than those indicated above.
The Call for Schools is organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Merit (download the Ministry’s circular).
Bring your School to #MFR2024!
A jury of experts will select the most innovative projects, forged at the school desk, and the selected institutes will be able to participate in #MFR2024 and make use of a free exhibition space.
The event will take place in presence in compliance with the regulations and safety measures in force at the time of its realization and a part will be in online, multi-channel and virtual digital mode.
For each individual non-Roman institution that will participate in person, a portion of the travel and accommodation expenses to participate in the event will be reimbursed after the event, as specified in the Regulations.
Participating in Maker Faire Rome is not only culturally enriching, but also a lot of fun.
Selected projects will be introduced to the wider public through coverage in national and international newspapers, radio and television.
