A group of students of class 2 ITT took part in a national competition organized by Samsung which was titled “The LetsApp - Solve For Tomorrow Edition 2020”. It was addressed to secondary school students who had to apply STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) in order to find solutions to problems related to social issues. As a pre- requisite to enter the contest, the students successfully completed a 25 hour online course consisting of carrying out practical demos and acquiring specific notions. With the help of their teachers, the students committed to this project with enthusiasm. They developed an application whose main objective is to measure the particulate matter present in the atmosphere as well as in water and soil within the whole Italian territory.
They called this app GPM which stands for Global Pollution Map. This app was designed to be donwloaded on smartphones, it was tested by the students and it is fully functional! Although their project was not shortlisted, both the students and the school teachers were satisfied with their final result. They are considering to take part in this project again next year with some new and great ideas. Stay tuned to hear more dazzling news from the fab fours: Daniele Baldassarri, Damiano Conti, Alex Dobanda and Chiara Quadraccia and their supportive class mates, Agron Nedjbi, Mattia Moscatelli, Andrea Pasquini, Gioia Petrignani and Samuele Serangeli.
