Curriculum Planning - Laboratorio Bicocca per la Didattica STEM

DiSTEMLaB

SCHOOL PROJECT PROPOSALS

The DiSTEMLab catalog features projects spanning all STEM domains, tailored for kindergarten, primary, and secondary schools. Our activities are inspired by everyday exposure to STEM, creating a continuous laboratory where mathematical, technical, and scientific disciplines are learned and experienced as tools to interpret the reality surrounding us.

DiSTEMLab researchers are available for customization requests or to develop new projects on topics not currently featured in our catalog.

THE Distemlab PlanetariUM

The DiSTEMLaB Planetarium: your doorway to the Universe

What lies beyond the lights of the Milan sky? Inside the inflatable DiSTEMLaB planetarium, we will discover that the Cosmos has never been so close. Step into an immersive experience that transforms a room into an interactive space journey.

The Planetarium is available for private events, by reservation, at the University’s facilities or at schools in the areas of Milan, or within 50 km from the University.

Attention: Access to the inflatable planetarium requires passing through a narrow opening with a step. Access cannot be guaranteed for users with reduced mobility. During Planetarium activities, there will be sounds and light projections in an enclosed space (5 m diameter) and, at times, darkness.
