In 2008 Fondazione Ducati in collaboration with the Liceo Malpighi of Bologna opens an interactive laboratory on Physics and Mechanics of the functioning of the motorcycle and the engine. A team of engineers, university professors and experts in Mechanics and Didactics of Physics, coordinated by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, ad hoc develops an interactive experimental path.

On March 26, 2008, the laboratory was inaugurated in the presence of authorities and press and opened to visits by groups from high schools throughout Italy. The original purpose of the workshop, the first and almost unique of its kind, is to create a bridge between school and factory, overcoming and improving the experience of science and technology museums, allowing students to be actors and not spectators of scientific discovery.

In July 2011 the laboratory hosts the first edition of the summer school of Physics for motivated and deserving students. During the Summer School students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in scientific research, working on their own experiment.  

Since 2017, Fisica in Moto organizes training and refresher courses for teachers and school managers in collaboration with the Association for the Teaching of Physics and under the patronage of the Regional School Office for Emilia-Romagna.

From April 2018 the workshop opens to guided tours of middle school classes, with a new tailor-made educational path, and the public. Today the laboratory also aims to bring the public of enthusiasts and curious of all ages closer to science and technology, starting from the concrete experience offered by Ducati motorcycles and engines.

In 2019, the Fisica in Moto Summer School enters the National Plan for Enhancement of the Excellence of the Ministry of Education, University and Research.
