Gym4Uni - Skills and Well-Being in Our Virtual Training Hub

Tor Vergata University invites secondary school teams to explore how to apply extended reality in education. 

“Gym4Uni - Skills and Well-Being in Our Metaverse Hub for Training!”  is a unique opportunity to engage in building a welcoming virtual learning space where students can effectively acquire the skills required for university courses in Economics and Management. 

Before the hackathon, participants will be trained on the features of extended reality and the use of these immersive tools. 

During the hackathon, participants will develop their proposals according to the Design Thinking: 

1) empathise, reflecting on the challenges students face when joining university; 

2) discover, listing what extended reality can provide in overcoming such challenges; 

3) define, focusing on a specific solution in line with the Gym metaphor; 

4) ideate, reflecting on the extended reality platform functionalities to be included   

5) prototype, sketching on the platform the features of the Gym4Uni.

The address for the onsite location of this blended hackathon is: Via Columbia, 2, 00133, Rome
