Hosted since 2006 inside the characteristic Villino Medioevale, which is part of Villa Torlonia, Technotown is the creative science hub, a place where science, technology and technology become tools to “achieve the impossible” but also an inclusive and environmentally friendly place where to discover the world of research and innovation, express one’s potential, compare and exchange ideas and solutions.
All Technotown offerings are aimed at girls and boys aged 12 and older. With the admission ticket, anyone who enters can freely visit the thematic exhibition, immerse themselves in the site-specific work Portal, an augmented reality art installation, traveling through time and space using smartphones, earbuds and the free ARTIVIVE app, and participate in classes, creative workshops, talks or science cafes with the guidance of qualified tutors. The calendar of activities is published each month on the Technotown website.
Technotown also hosts the world’s first Podcast House in collaboration with ASSIPOD - Associazione Italiana Podcasting and with the blessing of Adam Curry, inventor of the podcast. The Podcast House is the perfect place to discover the world of digital audio content and learn how to create it by telling stories, ideas and cultures: a physical space that also features the permanent exhibition dedicated to the history of the podcast.
