I have a degree in Physics / Applied Mathematics – Astronomy branch by the Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto (FCUP). Since 1994 I work at the Centro de Astrofísica da Univseridade do Porto, first as a monitor, later as coordinator of the Outreach Center and now as Director of de Porto Planetarium – Ciência Viva Center. Since 1998, with the beginning of the activities of the Porto Planetarium – Centro Ciência Viva, a large part of my time is dedicated to developing and implementing the activities of the Planetarium. I believe that working with elementary school children is the most rewarding and stimulating thing. To talk to the children, it is necessary to go down to their level, we have to sit on the floor and play with them.
