The second edition of the project "A Scuola d’Impresa” concluded with the celebrations on May 23, 2025. This project was born from the collaboration between Museimpresa, LIUC Università Carlo Cattaneo with its Heritage Hub, and the Archive of Industrial Cinema and Business Communication. This year, Fondazione MAIRE – ETS and MAIRE met with the 4A class of Liceo Malpighi in Bologna.

A morning dedicated to celebrating the talent of young people who participated in this edition for the academic year 2024/2025 – over 1250 students from 46 different schools in Italy, hosted by 41 companies and museums that are partners of Museimpresa and adherents to the initiative.

Some of the classes participating in the initiative, present at LIUC, received a plaque as recognition for the value of the project work developed at the end of their respective courses at the host locations.

Among them, the students of class 4A of Liceo Malpighi in Bologna, who after the course held with Fondazione MAIRE – ETS and MAIRE on February 17, 2025, created a video that explores the evolution of engineering design, from hand-drawn technical drawings to the use of artificial intelligence.

The young students brilliantly combined history and imagination, with a video that retraces languages, costumes, and engineering laboratory techniques from the 1980s to today, curated in every detail!

“What did you not expect from this experience?” – is the question asked to all representatives of the three business and museum entities and the students present. For Liceo Malpighi, it was the fun: touching the ancient historical work tools and seeing them come to life through the stories of the engineers who used them at the time; investigating how engineering design has evolved, and experimenting with augmented reality simulation to “visit” a plant site located on the other side of the world.

“The curiosity of these young people in exploring our warehouses and all the rarities contained therein, their questions to our colleagues, the attention to all the course modules, the commitment shown in the subsequent phases for the creation of the video. A round of applause to the extraordinary teaching staff who accompanied the work of these students” – commented our Communication Manager Irene Di Amato, handing the plaque to the youth.

The goal of our participation in the initiative was to involve young students in a journey to discover the history and heritage of the MAIRE Group, through the discovery of ancient work tools, plant models, drawings, and microfilms that make up part of the vast MAIRE historical archive, along the PCTO “Yesterday, today, tomorrow: evolution of engineering design, from technical drawings to artificial intelligence”; revealing how the history of yesterday forms the basis of today's technologies and tomorrow's innovation. It is a great satisfaction to see today how this day spent with the young people has sparked a flame and offered them the opportunity to unleash their creativity! Students of a scientific high school who discover themselves as actors, directors, writers... could the “humanist engineer” of tomorrow be hidden in each of them?

Good luck to these talented young people, and see you at the next edition of “At business school”!
