Leonardo between invention and STEAM

Enthusiasm, passion, curiosity and enjoyment - all in the name of invention: Leonardo took part in the National Geographic Festival of Sciences for the second year as an Educational Partner promoting STEM disciplines - as well as adding A for Arts, to mark the interplay between creativity and innovation.

Rome  19 April 2019

Science, Technologies, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics - these are the subjects behind the acronym STEAM: the disciplines of the future which we have decided to focus on in order to promote the key skills of innovation in open dialogue with the protagonists - tomorrow's generations. This is the approach which enabled our employees to animate some of the workshops held during the National Geographic Festival of Sciences (Rome, 8-14 April 2019) to tell children about their work, our products and our solutions in a enjoyable and unusual context: focusing on passion for innovation, a feeling to be shared and communicated. 

We expressed our scientific citizenship through an event where 29,000 students took part in educational activities and through our involvement with the INside/INvention exhibition: the evolution of our products, from helicopters to tiltrotors. The Festival also saw the involvement of the Leonardo-Civiltà delle Macchine Foundation, through readings of some passages from the famous magazine edited by Leonardo Sinisgalli. An ideal bridge between past and future under the hallmark of invention but - above all - of open dialogue with future generations.
