More info coming soon!

The First Summer School of ICTs organized by Maputo Living Lab started today with 26 students from 7 universities of Maputo.

On the first day, the students got to know each other and took a short placement test that has been used to form 6 project groups balanced according to their competences and to mix people from different universities. During the first week, the school will focus on planning and desining the project for the implementation of a district-level Vaccination Reminder System. This project addresses the issue of high children mortality rate (Mozambique is ranked #22 among the countries with highest children mortality rate) by scheduling immunization visits and by reminding parents and community members of upcoming visits.

The first Summer School of ICTs organized by Maputo Living Lab will start on October 31.

The school will have a duration of 4 weeks and it will cover the following topics:

The courses of the school will be taught in English by professors from Mozambique and from the University of Trento, Fondazione Bruno Kessler and GPI (Italy). The school will provide the 20-25 participating students with hands-on experience on the covered topics that will allow them to develop small projects of particular relevance to Mozambique.
