For Schools
School Field Trips to the Lab
A presentation on the changing world of work, followed by the actual machines: 3D printers, lasers, robots, and artificial intelligence. By appointment only.
Write to us to schedule a visitThe Asperastra Lab is a workshop where technology and creativity come together, and a class can visit it to see how it works.
From January through June 2026, eight classes visited the Lab, for a total of 157 students. The visit is an opportunity for discovery and discussion: students get a close-up look at the instruments and learn how they are used in real life.
The format
The future is today
A guided tour of the Lab, preceded by a presentation on innovation, emerging technologies, and the skills of the future.
First, the presentation
Professions
How they're changing.
Skills
These will become increasingly important.
Design and Create
How digital technologies are transforming the way we do it.
Next, the visit to the Lab
What You See
3D printing, laser cutting, robotics and electronics, artificial intelligence.
How
Up close, with the cars right in front of my eyes.
What You'll See in Lab
Four technologies, each with its own machine. On each page, you'll find out how they work and what you can do with them.
3D Printing and Modeling
You design an object on the computer and watch it take shape in a filament or resin 3D printer.
Go to the 3D page
Laser cutting
A digital design is transformed into a cut or engraved object made of wood, acrylic, or other materials.
Go to the Maker page
Robotics and Electronics
Arduino boards, sensors, and a collaborative robotic arm to program.
Go to the robotics page
Artificial Intelligence
Models that run on the Lab's computers, without going through online services: you can see what they can do and what it takes to make them work.
