Cari italiani e cari amici dell'Italia,
 
tra i diversi eventi di questo mese desidero anzitutto sottoporre alla vostra attenzione l'incontro women@innovation organizzato dall'Associazione Bocconi Alumni di Boston sul ruolo delle donne nel mondo dell'innovazione. L'evento si terr� mercoled� 18 maggio presso lo studio legale Goodwin Procter. Un panel d'eccezione per un incontro che sono sicuro non mancher� di generare un notevole interesse tra tutti i partecipanti.
 
Nell'ambito delle prossime attivit� organizzate da questo Consolato Generale desidero segnalarvi la nuova collaborazione con Arduino srl. Arduino e' ben nota nel mondo dei Makers per le sue versatili schede elettroniche che hanno rivoluzionato il mondo dell'informatica e avvicinato milioni di giovani all'artigianato digitale, anche se pochi sanno che si tratta di un'eccellenza tutta italiana. Insieme con l'Associazione degli studenti italiani di MIT, Harvard, Boston University e Northeastern e grazie alla generosa ospitalit� della Dante Alighieri di Cambridge i giorni 8, 9 e 10 giugno si terr� il primo Corso Arduino "a scuola di Makers" interamente in italiano per giovani studenti a partire dai 12 anni. Un modo nuovo per far incontrare la nostra bellissima lingua con il mondo dei giovani e dell'innovazione. I posti a disposizione sono limitati quindi affrettatevi a registrarvi!
 
Un cordiale saluto a tutti e buona lettura!
Nicola De Santis

Dear Italians and dear friends of Italy,
 
Among the numerous events this month I would like to bring to your attention the women@innovation organized by the Bocconi Alumni Association of Boston which will explore the role of women in the world of innovation. The event will take place Wednesday May 18th at the Law Offices of Goodwin Procter and it will host an exceptional panel which, I am sure, will generate great interest among the participants.
 
Amid the activities organized by this Consulate General I wish to point out the new collaboration with Arduino srl. Arduino is well known in the Maker World for its versatile electronic boards which revolutionized information technology and brought millions of young people to  "digital craftsmanship", although very few know  that it is all Made in Italy. Together with the Italian student associations from MIT, Harvard, Boston University  and Northeastern and thanks to the generous hospitality of the Dante Alighieri Society in Cambridge, on June 8th ,9th and 10th  we will host the first Arduino Courses "a scuola di Makers" entirely in Italian for young students starting at 12 years old. It is a new way to bring our wonderful language to the world of innovation and to young people. Available seats are limited, please hurry and register!
 
Greetings to all and Happy reading!
Nicola De Santis

May 11th: AP Italian Language and Culture Exam

The Advanced Placement (AP) Italian is an objective assessment of the knowledge and skills acquired during the learning process of Italian language and culture. It can be taken during the last year of the High School and it can be applied as a college level examination. The AP Program in Italian Language and Culture is a University level course of instruction that students can take while still in High School. Successful completion of the program and AP Exam scores allow students to build college levels credits that are recognized by almost all U.S. Universities and by numerous foreign Universities.
The integration of a subject in the AP Program promotes its spread among High Schools and Colleges all over the U.S. Furthermore, by taking AP courses and exams, students and their parents can save money on college tuition, because they can earn college credits paying just the AP Exam fees.
2015 was a very important year for AP Italian! The number of students taking the AP Italian exam rose significantly. This year we want to continue to grow! Thank you to all: students, families and teachers that support so strongly the Italian language program!

Houston, we have a problem
Nowadays, due to busy work and lifestyles, people do not dedicate much time to food preparation. This ends up with improper nutrition and a lack of important micronutrients.
 
Astronauts and nutrition
Being able to provide the right food and nutrients is fundamental to guarantee a healthy and disease-free life for astronauts in zero-gravity. Stefano Polato and the Argotec Space Food Lab studied interactions between nutrition and the human body and developed a balanced diet and a safe packaging technology for astronauts in space, including Samanta Cristoforetti.

Accademia della Cucina Italiana
Commitment and Research for the protection of the traditions of Italian cuisine

The Accademia Italiana della Cucina was born - naturally at the dinner table, as is often the case with important things - when a group of friends, united at dinner on the 29th of July of 1953, heard and agreed with the idea which Orio Vergani had long been nurturing: that of founding an academy with the task of safeguarding, together with the traditions of Italian cuisine, the culture of the civilisation of the table, lively and active expression of the entire Nation.
