Result
16 groups of 3 students each. 48 students in total. The prizes were three energy packages for charging smartphones offered by the Beaconing Project.
The great success, not only in terms of results but also of participation, is clear evidence that the PlayVisit game is an activity that students face with passion and that can seriously facilitate learning paths and strengthen specific and cross-cutting skills. Up to 48 high school students who participated in the challenge, all with an excellent location.
The Liceo has paid special attention for a time to generate an educational offer that combines traditional teaching with the laboratory and technology, following a constant path of innovation that has sensitized all teachers at the various levels from the first moment thanks to the Teachers Training Plan for three years with appreciable impact on daily work. Scientifically, the game and the passion perfectly agree with the study of the classical Liceo.
