Ilídio André Costas
Teacher / Researcher @ Santa Bárbara School / Porto Planetarium - Ciência Viva Center / Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences - Porto University
For reasons that only psychiatry can explain, I always wanted to be a teacher. I achieved this goal and for almost 20 years I have been a middle and high school Biology-Geology teacher, deployed for extra-school education at CAUP (Center for Astrophysics of Oporto University), in the last of few years. At the same time, I am the author of textbooks on Natural Sciences (for different countries), teacher trainer (initial and continuing training programs) and more recently, researcher at IA (Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences) in Teaching and Dissemination science. With the Masters in Astronomy Teaching, I was able to enter in another universe where indeterminate time and space coexist with a Catholic faith, the passion for music and for football practice.
