Today marked the final event of the “Moonshot” educational project at Istituto Comprensivo “Rita Levi Montalcini” in Rome. Held under the aegis of the USR per il Lazio, this initiative has consolidated excellent results in terms of training, learning, and active participation.

More than 150 kindergarten and primary school students demonstrated the STEM skills acquired throughout the year, culminating in a spectacular live launch of handmade water rockets at Parco degli Acquedotti.

Representing Novi Education, Anna Juricic attended the celebration alongside members of the Novi team. Anna shared her delight at the success of the event, highlighting her immense satisfaction with the tangible milestones reached and the inspiring enthusiasm radiating from teachers and pupils alike.

This international training experience was made possible thanks to a precious collaboration between the school, Novi Education, and the Houston Space Center (NASA).

We are deeply honored by the words of Principal Maria Pia Foresta, who highlighted the extraordinary impact of this joint effort on the educational and personal growth of the pupils.

The school community expressed its deep gratitude for the invaluable contribution of Banca Ifis, whose support was essential in spreading this prestigious educational program.

Promoting STEM and scientific culture from the very first years of school is a mission we are proud to champion. Congratulations to all the students and teachers involved.
