ENTREPRENEURSHIP SCHOOL IN NICE
Supported by The Coca-Cola Foundation, the 33rd Edition of #EntrepreneurshipSchool travelled to Nice for the first time. The focus for our young aspiring entrepreneurs was social entrepreneurship. With the inspiration from successful entrepreneurs, who integrated a passion with their start-ups, participants got to understand the challenges in contributing to social responsibilities while maintaining a business. These start-ups involved unique services which help football coaches, individuals who don’t have time to do housework and newcomers into the country. With the entrepreneurial guidance, participants got the chance throughout the week to put the tips and tricks onto their own business proposals.
CODING CONFERENCE 2017
Boeing and ThinkYoung’s Coding Conference “Coding in the Classroom: What the European Youth Wants” was held on the 19th of October, with the presence of experts from public and private sector and students from the Coding Summer School 2017. Hosted by MEP Lieve Wierinck and with the presence of the experts, Annika Ostergren Pofantis, European Commission DG CONNECT, Roger Gilles, EU and NATO Communications Specialist at Boeing, Nele Thiemrodt, a student of the Coding Summer School 2017, and Andrea Gerosa, ThinkYoung Founder, the debate was rewarding in evaluating the #CodingSummerSchool efforts in the past two years, as well as, the importance of 21st century skills for the aerospace industry. STEM and ICT skills represent the future of the European economy and it is therefore vital that young people master them.
