INTRODUCTION
IS GEOMAG A TEACHING AID?

The study illustrated in the following notes represents the outcome of a preliminary survey, performed in the didactic context, aimed at verifying whether, and to what extent, Geomag can be used as an instrument which is functional to the teaching of “geometric and architectural drawing, architecture, interior design and scenic construction” disciplines which are part of the study curriculum of the art institutes.
In order to guarantee scientific seriousness to  a research, albeit of a preliminary kind, directly concerned with teaching activity, we felt it was essential to implement it by following a precise method, articulated in the following phases:

Analysis of the nature of the game under examination and identification of its rules.
Preliminary formulation of the hypothesis regarding the implementation of G., coherently with the Ministerial programmes laid down for the disciplines of competence of the examining teacher. 
Programming and performance of experimental tests, to be held in class, aimed both at the verification of the general evaluations and hypotheses posed, and at the eventual acquisition of further potential applications for educational purposes.

Elaboration of the concluding remarks on the research performed.

INTERVIEW
Where did Geomag's idea come from? The inventor, Claudio Vicentelli, reveals for the first time all the backgrounds of Geomag concept : the extremely high level of preliminary study and preparation behind the two simple components, a sphere and a bar.
