School Information:
I.I.S. "Ciampini-Boccardo"
Our school, the Secondary School "Ciampini-Boccardo" of  Novi Ligure, was founded in 2010  by the merger of two pre-existing schools in town: the Secondary School "G: Boccardo" and the Secondary School "G. Ciampini. The school "G. Boccardo" offered education for administrative professions, while the school "G. Ciampini"  offered education for technical professions. Immediately before and after the merger, the school has grown significantly and so now students are offered a richer field of choices. The school population is 1280 students and there are about 210 teachers and staff. The school consists of two units located in "Viale Saffi" and in "Via Verdi". Students are offered the following opportunities:

I.T.I.S. "Magistri Cumacini"
The I.T.I.S. "Magistri Cumacini", founded in 1951, is one of the largest and highly qualified high schools (attended by about 1200 students between 14 and 19 years). The Institute is located on the outskirts of the city of Como. The I.T.I.S. "Magistri Cumacini" offers two years of teaching  to complete general education and, thereafter, the school gives the opportunity to attend three-years  with four options: Construction, Environment and Territory; Electronics and Electrical Engineering; IT and Telecommunications; Mechanics, Mechatronics and Energy saving.
The school since 2004 has been operating an Amateur Radio Station with the Callsign IZ2MCC.

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station: NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, JAXA, and CSA. The US Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provide ARISS special support. 

ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on board the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning.

The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues.  With the help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a variety of public forums.  Before and during these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio.  For more information, see www.ariss.org, www.ariss-eu.org and https://www.amsat-on.be/hamtv-summary/.

School Information:
Liceo Scientifico Teresa Gullace
Our school is born as a science high school, so the scientific method is at the center of all the lessons that work together to accustom students to the rational and experimental approach. Mathematics, physics, and science are the cornerstone of high school education. Attention to the scientific dissemination, participation in maths, sciences, and the current school year, including physics, characterizes our institute that has had important results with participation also in national finals.
In our school there is an association (Gruppo SIGMA Studenti e Insegnanti del Gullace per la Matematica) of pupils and former students who have distinguished themselves in mathematics: we could certainly organize the event with the help of the association.
We could invite to the event in the main hall students who will demonstrate the intention to participate in the project and who will find out during the year, among the pupils of the three years, until the 80 seats are filled up.

I.S.I.S. " Zaccagna - Galilei" sede "G. Galilei"
The mission of the State High School Galilei, part of I.S.I.S. Zaccagna, is « value the person », through an educational process built for the person and therefore the society. The school focuses on guiding the students in their future choices, both of study and work, but mostly on the greatest non-material asset available : the person as human capital, with his culture, value and knowledge. The two main goals are there for evaluing the person in all hispotential, and professional qualification.
The building hosting the event includes a Maths and Science High School and the Industrial and Technical State High School Galilei, with students aged between 14 and 20.
About 40 students from the Telecommunication course will be directly involved in the project (16-20 years old), while the connection might be extended to the entire learning centre, that includes about 1000 students ; it might also be possible for the local population to attend the event.
