Fisica in Moto (physics on motorcycles) is the interactive didactic physics laboratory dedicated specifically to high school students and is located at the historical Ducati factory in Borgo Panigale by the Fondazione Ducati together with the Malpighi high school in Bologna.
The laboratory aims to build a bridge between schools and businesses using the experience of technical and science 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’ with a Ducati MotoGP bike. The whole course has been developed with the collaboration of the professors from Bologna’s Malpighi high school and university lecturers.
To effectively learn, students must be passionate about what is in front of them. This is why we want to give students the opportunity to gain experience and not simply experiment in physics. Using entertaining, interactive equipment, the students will therefore be asked to observe, question and then discover how fascinating and tangible the formulas that they normally see printed on the pages of text books actually are.
