Technology enters the classroom: MINT Weeks kick off

SUPSI Article Header

From 8 to 19 April 2024, the MINT Weeks will be held, an interdisciplinary in-depth event aimed at primary school classes and organised by the Media and MINT Laboratory together with the Locarnese inspectorate.

Two weeks to discover what's behind a smartphone, a computer, or an application, two weeks to give free rein to creativity and solve problems through activities and workshops, while familiarising oneself with a world that is becoming increasingly digitalised and faster. 

These are the MINT Weeks - an acronym for mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technical sciences - held by the Laboratory media and MINT (MEM) of the Department of Education and Learning / University of Teacher Education (DFA/ASP) and aimed at familiarising primary school pupils with these disciplines. 

Lucio Negrini, Professor in Technologies in Education at DFA/ASP and head of the laboratory, tells us about the proposals for this edition, starting with an initial question: what is the media and MINT laboratory?
