Teams: Ready, Steady, Go!

An exciting journey will take the kids through the Pirelli Foundation’s Historical Archive and its new exhibition to find out about the close connection between the company and the world of sport. Since Pirelli first participated in two- and four-wheel races in the early twentieth century, competitions have played a central role in the Group’s technological advancements. Today, motor racing championships like Formula 1, where Pirelli serves as a technical partner, continue to be a key test bed for trying out new materials and innovative solutions, which often find their way into mass production. To understand how technology can significantly enhance the thrill of the most spectacular sports, and to appreciate the value of teamwork, the kids will find out about some of the most exciting stories of sporting triumphs. Divided into teams, they will then compete with each other by constructing and programming a small robot. The competition will be part of a multi-stage course, where the most technologically advanced and cohesive team will emerge victorious.

The session will take place in person at the Pirelli Foundation and is for one class.

The Words of Sport

How many words and phrases from the world of sport do we use in our everyday language? There are countless technical terms, neologisms, loans from other languages, and expressions that have come to us from the world of sport. Thanks to radio and television, but also to newspapers and literature, they have gradually entered our everyday speech. Drawing from images, films, and pages of books and magazines now in the Pirelli Historical Archive, we will explore the origins and meanings of some of these terms while following thrilling sporting events on roads, circuits, land and sea. From cycling to sailing, Formula 1 to football, the boys and girls will use archive documents to write and illustrate a short story about a competitive event, aiming to capture and express the core values of sport.

The course will be held over two online sessions via the Microsoft Teams platform and is open to a maximum of two classes together.

History in Focus

The Pirelli Foundation has a vast collection of photographic and audio-visual materials, including thousands of photographs—glass plates, film, paper prints, and slides—taken by renowned photographers such as Ugo Mulas and Federico Patellani, as well as works from important agencies. Additionally, the Archive is home to hundreds of movies, from the early twentieth century to the present day, on both film and magnetic tape. Together, we will practise observing and studying these sources to revisit key moments in the history of the company and of Italy, reflecting on changes in taste, customs, and the architectural evolution of our cities, as well as new forms of mobility and travel. Through interactive games and quizzes, we’ll pay special attention to observing both still and moving images that illustrate Pirelli’s close ties with sport. We’ll explore the athletic feats and unexpected triumphs, and the intense efforts they involve, along with still images of cyclists, drivers and riders racing on roads and tracks across the world.

The session will take place in person at the Pirelli Foundation and is for one class.
