At the International Festival of Engineering 2026 (Sep 18-20, 2026), the MOX Lab, Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano, contributed with “Guida il gruppo, accendi il movimento!”: an interactive activity for both children and adults to explore the role of mathematics and computational modeling in describing how individual choices influence the coordinated movement of an entire group.
Francesca Bonizzoni and Ivan Fumagalli coordinated the activity. Sincere thanks go to all the researchers who made this experience possible: Samuele Brunati, Beatrice Caon, Francesco Daniele, Denise Grappein, Giulia Patanè, Francesco Rosnati, Irena Radišić.
