Strategy
We select the best combination of activities based on your audience, venue, season, and available space.
Science on the move
On the road labs, bringing science straight to your community
Tour activities
Every activity is modular and can be mixed and matched to fit the audience, the venue, and the goals of each stop — from children and families to students and curious adults.
01
ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS
Daytime and nighttime sessions with professional telescopes: sunspots, the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. Our science communicators guide every observation, turning each gaze through the lens into a story.
02
HANDS-ON LABS
Building, experimenting, and discovering: from physics and astronomy to Earth observation and space technology. Portable, adaptable, and designed to work anywhere.
03
DEMONSTRATIONS
Live experiments, short talks, science quizzes, and team challenges. Fast-paced and high-energy — perfect for festivals, sports villages, and crowded public spaces.
04
STAGE ACTIVITIES
Science storytelling, demonstration shows, and presentations with dedicated materials and high-impact formats. Designed for large audiences and evening events.

How we run it
We handle everything — so you don't have to. Every tour stop comes as a ready-to-go format:
Logistics
Transport, equipment, set-up, delivery, pack-down. The full package, managed end to end.
Science Communicators
Our team runs every activity, ensuring professionalism, safety, and non-stop interaction with the public.
Who it's for
Our science tours are built for organisations that want to bring science directly into cities and communities.
Public bodies and local administrations
Municipalities, libraries, cultural departments, and museums looking to offer their citizens high-quality science experiences.
Companies and foundations
Organisations driving social responsibility projects, educational initiatives, or communication campaigns connected to science and technology.
National and international science programmes
When a strategic project needs to reach people where they live, a tour is the most powerful way to make it happen.
Il Cielo Itinerante
Tour activities: Stargazing
Since 2021, we have been collaborating with the non-profit association Il Cielo Itinerante, travelling across Italy in an iconic minibus to bring science to communities where educational opportunities are scarce. Each stop combines hands-on labs, demonstrations, and stage activities — all culminating in one of our most powerful experiences.
- 01
Stargazing
Professional telescopes, a clear sky, and our science communicators weaving myths, space missions, and scientific curiosities into a seamless narrative. We focus on bright celestial objects like the Moon and planets — so total darkness is never a requirement. Every observation becomes a story.

02The sky in a room
When the weather doesn't cooperate, we don't cancel — we adapt. Using professional software and high-resolution projection, we transform any ceiling or wall into a digital starry sky. A vivid, immersive journey through constellations, planets, and seasons — guaranteed, regardless of what's happening outside.
IRIDE National Tour
Tour activities: Space and Time Demonstration
The IRIDE national tour is one of Europe's most ambitious Earth observation programmes — a constellation of satellites coordinated by ESA with ASI participation, designed to monitor our planet from orbit. Our team brings this programme to life through a nationwide tour organised in partnership with the Italian Volleyball Federation (FederVolley), delivering fast-paced STEM demonstrations inside high-energy sports villages across Italy.

How it works
Using a large elastic sheet representing spacetime, we roll marbles of different weights to show how mass deforms the fabric of space — making gravity visible, tangible, and instantly understandable. From there, it's a short leap to explaining how satellites orbit the Earth and why programmes like IRIDE matter. The demonstration is quick, spectacular, and designed to be repeated dozens of times a day — reaching up to a thousand children in a single stop.

02Impact
Each stop reaches up to a thousand children and young people in a single day. The demonstration format is designed for high-volume, high-energy environments — sports arenas, festival grounds, and public squares — where attention spans are short but curiosity is everywhere.
