Excursions

• How did the Romans build the Colosseum in eight years?

• How could they supply water for the millions of citizens living in the second century A.D.?

• How are modern technologies used for the conservation of cultural heritage?

There are a lot of questions such that you will begin to answer during the excursions in the Exploration of Rome course. This course is intended to help students discover the most significant sites and explore them through the lens of engineering and STEM principles.

The on-site classes will be held inside important locations around the city, including the Colosseum, the Forum, the Roman Baths, and the Pantheon. We'll make a short trip out of Rome to discover the ancient city of Ostia and the Villa of Emperor Adrian. In addition we will visit landmark places in Rome, such as the Vatican Museums with its Sistine Chapel and the Saint Peter Basilica as well as the Galleria Borghese, Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps, Trevi’s fountain and much more. It is a way to fully understand the city's history and let students truly enjoy their experience in Rome.
