After having participated in the School of Physics for Arduine and Smartphone, Manuela Tirocchi, Professor of Mathematics and Physics at the Liceo scientifico Innocenzo XII in Anzio (Rome), involved her fifth-year class in a physics experiment at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym Fab Lab.
Enthusiastic about their experience, 18 students and their teacher decided to develop a school-work programme with the Fondazione Mondo Digitale begining with the creation of a Galton Board.
Under the supervision of Fab Lab Coordinator Matteo Viscogliosi, students used digital manufacturing tools to build the board and will showcase its operation at the fifth edition of the Rome Maker Faire (Fiera di Roma, Dec. 1-3, 2017).
And it all began with a lesson probability distribution … In this interview with Cecilia Stajano [@CStajano], School Innovation Coordinator, Matteo Sepe and Rachel Goodsell, eighteen-year-old students at the school explain the project.
