Fast Cars and Food in Bologna School Trips
Visions In Education
A unique cross-curricular experience for students of Science, Design Technology, Food technology and Engineering. We visit the factories and museums of Lamborghini and Ferrari, gaining invaluable behind-the-scenes access to the factory floor along the way. At Ferrari, enter the world of the Formula 1 driver with a guided tour of the museum. School groups also have an option of booking a panoramic shuttle bus factory and track tour and a visit to the Red Campus laboratory.
Afterwards, Food technology takes over with a visit to the Gelato Museum where students will participate in a gelato artisan workshop. During the workshop students will learn how to transform fresh fruit into excellent gelato. After learning the production steps, they will discover how to balance recipes, and will earn the chance to become official assistants to the Gelato University instructors, helping them to make gelato.
