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.
