Global Junior Challenge

The Center for Science, Technology, and Society participates in the Global Junior Challenge. The Digital Youth Consortium, a non-profit organization founded by the Municipality of Rome and six major ICT companies, promotes this global award program. The intention of the award, dedicated to young people and to schools, is to identify and reward best practices on the use of new technologies in education and training of youngsters. Jim Koch, Director of the Center, serves on the international jury that selects the finalists. The Global Junior Challenge is dedicated to all young people, from school children to teenagers, and youth taking their first steps on the job market.
