Hands On

Tutorials and Practical workshop

Please note that this is a closed session for registered students.

Location: Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, via Morego 30, Genova

Each student should choose his favorite course and the corresponding group. We will try to satisfy all the requests. However, the maximum number of students per group is 4. Once assigned to a group, students cannot exchange them. Each group will attend eight "hands on" lessons in eight different instruments as shown in the programme.
