Description
This project was proposed for the first time during the European Researchers’ Night in
November 2020 in Catania. The idea, taken from the famous RAI3 program “Per un pugno di
libri”, was adapted to consider books of scientific divulgation and, in that occasion, a
competition was organized between two local high schools.
After the edition in Catania, the project in 2021-2022 has been extended and now it involves
high schools from Cagliari, Catania, Firenze, and Napoli. The local organizers choose and
propose to students a scientific book on which several questions and games are devised, and
after a local selection, competitions among schools of the different cities are organized, either
online or in presence. In particular, the book chosen by the Napoli group for the local
competition was “L’Enigma dei Raggi cosmici” by Alessandro De Angelis, ed. Springer.
Given the enthusiastic and positive results by the teachers and the students, we’re going to
organize the second edition of the project which will start in November 2022.
