A role-playing challenge
The game is called ‘Renovatio Quest’, and it can easily be played online on both phones and computers. The story is set in the year 2500 and the central character is a student, Nescio Nomen (literally meaning ‘I don’t know the name’ in Latin) coming from the ‘British archipelago’ - as climate change has modified the face of the Earth and left under water many parts of the world...
There is no such thing as being ‘gifted’ for mathematics, it’s only about the kind of teachers you had, namely those who don’t treat you like you’re stupid,” Montoli says.
With videogames, instead, teenagers find something close to them. Including girls: “There is a game called ‘Among us’ which they play during breaks, and both genders are equally involved,” Montoli says. The same goes for school results and study options: “In my experience, there are a lot of girls who undertake scientific paths at university. If there are any preconceptions, they must be within the families”.
