I´m a Secondary teacher of Physics and Chemistry. I love my Family,
Science, Art, my Pupils and School. At CERN, one of the world's most prestigious
research centres for particle physics, I hope to open a window
on the infinitely small - the heart of matter - what happens when energy
becomes matter.
I teach at José Gomes Ferreira High School. Age of my students
: from 15 to 18 years old.

WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?
--------------
I hope this course will help me to teach science; to show the pupils the
practical importance of fundamental research; to learn the techniques
used and the results obtained at CERN; to learn more about the research
process; the instalation experiments before and after observation nad
the selection data;the cooperation among the teams researchers.
HOW WILL I DISSEMINATE KNOWLEDGE?
--------------
I plan to promove training sessions for teachers at Association of Secondary
Schools Training Center (Initial and Continuing Training); also promove
networks, meetings and conferences with support of LIP and CERN'researchers;
and divulge the project "School Network of Detection of Cosmic Rays".
HOW DID I LEARN ABOUT HST?
--------------
From LIP and Outreach.
