he “Leonardo da Vinci” National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan (Italy) has recently renewed
its space dedicated to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education by creating a new chemistry laboratory: iLab Chimica. Created thanks to the support of coating, paint, and special material manufacturer PPG, the new laboratory is an innovative and interactive area mainly conceived for new generations and aimed at bringing people and, in particular, primary and secondary school students closer to scientific disciplines and chemical phenomena. Such important result has been the fruit of the synergy between the museum’s educational expertise and PPG’s technical and scientific know-how – for years, this company has been helping bring colour and brightness to communities in line with its purpose, “We protect and beautify the world”. During the creation of this laboratory, the paint manufacturer’s experts and researchers selected the most innovative and sustainable products and recommended the most suitable and high-performance technologies with the aim of giving the community a new symbol of beauty and culture, a project to be experienced, seen, and experiences.
