Everything you need to know as a company
Robotics, programming, science, sensor technology. Try it out, have fun – learn!
Dear teachers, dear students,
Our MiniNOI for Schools programme is designed to give every student the opportunity for a fun and informed introduction to science and technology. To this end, we have developed workshops that deal with science, research, technology and innovation, adapted to the age, knowledge level and interests of young people.
Who is it for?
MiniNOI for Schools is aimed at primary and secondary schools in South Tyrol.
How does it work?
Once you have chosen a workshop, please complete the registration form on our website. We will get back to you with potential dates and additional information. Our staff are bilingual: we adapt to the language needs of each class.
Reserve early!
Participation is free, but space is limited: please note your date carefully so you don’t forget it! We will send you a reminder one week in advance.
Where and when?
Our MiniNOI for Schools workshops take place at NOI Techpark in Bolzano, usually from 8:45 a.m. to noon. We offer flexible scheduling for schools not based in Bolzano.
Supported by:
All available events.
Climate at Play

Our climate is changing rapidly, and its effects are felt daily across the globe: extreme droughts, floods, and an unprecedented rise in temperatures. To make the complex dynamics behind this phenomenon more tangible and easier to understand, intertwining science, economics, and social dynamics, we have developed a board game that simulates the challenges of climate change. This workshop offers a practical and interactive approach to exploring the global strategies currently underway and the crucial role of scientific research. Together, we can experience firsthand the delicate balances and compromises required to confront the climate challenge: will you play with us?

Where do our emotions come from? What happens in our brains when we are scared or when we laugh? Through experiments and hands-on activities, we will try to understand what happens in our bodies when we feel something and discover whether science has found ways to measure and understand our emotions.

Microscopes, micropipettes and molecules: in this workshop, we follow in the footsteps of the researchers working in Eurac Research’s biomedical laboratories. We learn how to use laboratory instruments. And we analyse the results of our experiments to learn new things about cells, DNA and bacteria.

Our nose is not as sensitive – nor as big! – as those of many other animal species. That is why we often forget how important our sense of smell is. By exploring the world of aromas, scents and smells, we learn how our nose works and discover why our lives would be very complicated without it

We often think of agriculture as a very traditional industry... But in reality, it is not. Farms are becoming more and more “smart”: farmers use various sensors to monitor plants and harvests and use increasingly autonomous machines to perform the more strenuous tasks. We will try this out for ourselves on a small scale, using sensors and microprocessors to monitor the condition of plants and soil.

Using colourful building blocks, cables, motors and sensors, we build a group of robots that cooperate with each other: a real “intelligent system” that we will program with a tablet. Along the way, we will show you how block programming works.

Discover what energy is and how insulating and conductive materials work. We construct an electrical circuit with copper wire, batteries and light bulbs. Then, we use a microprocessor to explore how energy “flows”. It’s not magic, it’s the power of knowledge!
