About FIRST® LEGO® League Italia - Challenge
"I like being a facilitator, who creates opportunities for kids: I believe that school is the place to experiment, play, create. The more experiences you have at school, the more ready you are later. My role is precisely this: to give opportunities, occasions. We play team building games in which kids learn that collaboration is needed to achieve goals. The kids work together, with team spirit and collaboration, and have fun."
