School Information:
Istituto Comprensivo "Japigia 1 – Verga"
Orione and Verga with pupils of age range 3 to 14 years. The pupils attending the school are 1125.
Our school is well known and has distinguished itself for the advanced level of technology and projects. In the school there is modern equipment and space suitable for experiments/tests.
Our Institute proposes different activities of educational robotics, simple and practical approach to the operation of robots, to the computer planning and the learning of technical subjects as science and mathematics with the purpose to stimulate the curiosity and the use of logic in students. Every year they participate successfully in national and regional competitions. Our Institute, besides participating every year to the week of the Code, transversally proposes the activity of coding to the disciplines studied with the purpose to develop in the learners the capacity of problem solving.
Whereas during the week of the National Plan for the Digital School, the pupils of our Institute take part in a series of activities that involve the family and the personnel of the school experimenting different activities such as the digital sketch with Autocad, the digital comic strip, the 3D printer, the virtual classroom, small competitions of robotics to show the innovation that already exists in our school but that is in constant evolution.
Moreover, in 2016 and 2017 pupils were involved in the international educational project "Mission X" concerning physical activity and proper nutrition that encourages children to train like a real astronaut. They have been able to understand the importance of healthy eating and regular physical activity, participating in an international challenge in which they did physical exercises and activities in the classroom, discovering what happens in space and how they can one day become protagonist of an international space adventure.
A group of pupils has also participate in the STEM project "Cpu maker for pupils with a great mind", activity that led to the realization of a microprocessor starting from the use of a Raspberry Pi, that is a calculator implemented by a single electronic card.
Istituto Comprensivo "Caporizzi – Lucarelli"
The I.C. "Caporizzi _ Lucarelli" is a recent school institution that started its journey on September 1, 2016 following the unification between primary school "C. Collodi " and secondary school " Antonio Lucarelli " in Acquaviva delle Fonti (Bari..
The school is composed of 7 school buildings and welcomes pupils aged from 3 to 14 years. The total number of pupils is 897 of which 4% are of foreign origin coming from European Union countries and non-EU countries. The number of teachers is 104.
The school welcomes pupils with a family background diversified by the cultural and economic point of view.
The school has got scientific, artistic, linguistic and technological laboratories and two gyms. There also is a laboratory devoted to atmospheric sciences. Meteorological model WRF (weather research and forecasting. is implemented and local meteorological forecast are realized.

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.
