Laboratory
Started in 2008 at Giulio Natta High School (Bergamo, Italy), the Laboratory is a technological, scientific and didactic resource that all the school of Bergamo can use. It is composed by a roof laboratory (400 sq. m) with a linear parabolic concentrator and a photovoltaic plant, an energy saving room and instruments for monitoring the plant, research within infrared spectrum, incident light and a weather station.
The laboratory offers the possibility to interface with world of work through experiences between school and firms and setting up a personalized research path by learning to develop projects by following all the planning steps, realization and trial.
