Supervised a group of students with the project "Production of energy using solar panels and hydrogen fuel cells". Gave the
theoretical introduction to the topic, helped the students to collect data (assembly of electrical circuits, use of ammeters,
voltmeters, voltage sources), gave some notions of Excel (Microsoft Office) to do the data analysis and build the plots and
I guided the students in the final presentation.

between the Faculty of Sciences of the U. Porto and CERN, for High School students. During the morning, the students attend
lectures about Particle Physics and particle detectors; in the afternoon, the students classify the decays of the Z boson
detected in LEP. I helped the students to classify those decays.
