A special bootcamp with IIS Pentasuglia students from Matera

From March 9 to 20, H-FARM College hosted a group of students from IIS GB Pentasuglia for a bootcamp focused on digital transformation and entrepreneurship. This intensive two-week program involved 46 students in a comprehensive experience, including lessons, company visits, and hands-on activities.

The program combined classroom sessions on artificial intelligence, startups, and business modeling with practical, hands-on labs. Throughout the entire experience, H-FARM College students played an active role as mentors, sharing their own experiences, supervising the participants’ work, and helping them turn theoretical concepts into concrete projects.

Students from IIS GB Pentasuglia were able to experience first-hand our approach to education, characterized by experiential learning, direct interaction with companies, and the development of skills applicable in the real world. A key element of the bootcamp was the company visits: students explored leading organizations such as EssilorLuxottica in Agordo, Diadora, Gruppo Simeon, and Sicon-Socomec, observing innovative processes and technologies applied to real business.

Participants had the opportunity to develop their own ideas, prototype projects, and present their final pitches. The projects ranged from solutions for the well-being of new generations to AI applications to improve business processes, and even B2C platforms.

The experience, completely different from a traditional school setting, had a very positive impact, as confirmed by the institute’s teachers, leaving students motivated and with a more concrete vision of the world of technology and entrepreneurship.
