Fisica in Moto (physics on motorcycles), located at the historical Ducati
factory in Borgo Panigale, is the interactive didactic
physics laboratory dedicated specifically to high school students
created through the collaboration of the Fondazione Ducati together and
the Liceo Malpighi (Malpighi high school) in Bologna.
The purpose of the laboratory is to build a bridge between schools
and businesses through the experience of science and technology
museums. Specifically designed and custom-built interactive machines will
be used inside the laboratory to demonstrate the principles of
physics that students learn at school, as well as phsyics’ relationship
with a Ducati MotoGP bike. The whole course has been developed with
thecollaboration of the professors from Bologna’s Malpighi high school
anduniversity lecturers.
Physics teachers at all high schools can use the laboratory from Mondays to Fridays and can book in advance by clicking here.
