We are
Gruppo Pleiadi
Gruppo Pleiadi is a well-established social cooperative specializing in science communication since 2009.
We are specialized in STEAM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Mathematics).
Our strength lies in bringing science to various and diverse contexts, from museums to schools, from public squares to shopping centers, with the goal of delivering even complex scientific content in an interactive and entertaining way.
For us, imagination is a muscle, and like any muscle it can be trained through practice, leading to the continuous experience of extraordinary and out-of-the-ordinary moments.
Our method
Our method is inspired by the hands-on approach, developed in the 1960s in the United States, and is known as Logical Experimental Processing (Elaborazione Logico Sperimentale or ELS).
Its roots are grounded in Galileo’s scientific method, Montessori’s pedagogical method, and Bruno Munari’s design method. The ELS method integrates logic, experimentation, and interaction, translating scientific concepts into a language that resonates with everyday life.
Our speciality? Teaching through hands-on activities!
At the helm of this journey of trial-and-error discovery is the explainer, a highly qualified figure who fosters reasoning, curiosity, and a passion for exploration. Explainers bring their laboratories to cultural venues, demonstrating how science is intricately connected to many everyday phenomena.
Museum Design and Education
Gruppo Pleiadi has extensive experience in designing high-value educational and scientific experiential museums. In 2019, we conceived, designed, and created the Children's Museum Verona, followed in 2022 by MU-CH, the Chemistry Museum in Settimo Torinese. In 2024, as part of a temporary association of companies (ATI) with the Corsorzio AION, we were entrusted with developing the Pompeii Children's Museum, including the design and management of educational, instructional, and recreational activities. Our cooperative also specializes in designing and managing educational and training activities for various museum institutions, training staff, and organizing special events, ensuring both quality and innovation. Among our projects are the MUSE – Science Museum of Trento with Consorzio AION as part of the ATI and the Natural History Museum of Milan, the latter in collaboration with CoopCulture as part of an ATI.
