OPIT – Open Institute of Technology has launched “From Zero to Tech”, a free online summer bootcamp designed to introduce participants to three of the most in-demand digital skills in today’s job market: artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and cybersecurity.
Running from 13 to 23 July 2026, the bootcamp will include eight live sessions in English, delivered by international OPIT faculty. It is open to everyone, with no prior technical background required, and aims to give participants a practical introduction to how these technologies work and how they can be applied in real professional contexts.
The programme will be led by three OPIT professors: Azadeh Haratiannezhadi, AI researcher with a PhD in Cognitive Science, who will teach AI Applications; Lokesh Vij, R&D Software Engineer at Broadcom, who will teach Cloud Computing; and Tom Vazdar, cybersecurity expert and founder of Riskoria, who will lead the cybersecurity modules. The bootcamp will be opened by Professor Francesco Profumo, Rector of OPIT, and will close with remarks from Riccardo Ocleppo, Founder of OPIT.
“Every technological revolution creates two types of people: those who watch it and those who build it,” says Francesco Profumo. “We want to help young people join the second group. In the 21st century, the real divide is not between those who understand technology and those who do not, but between those who keep learning and those who stop. From Zero to Tech was born from a simple idea: anyone can start if they find the right teachers, the right method, and a community to support them. You do not need to be an expert. You need curiosity, a willingness to get involved, and the courage to take the first step. Innovation belongs to those who choose to learn. The future does not wait. The first step can begin this summer with OPIT.”
The live sessions will take place at 5.30 pm Italian time, with access via Zoom and YouTube streaming. Materials will also be…
