APECS Italy

I graduated in Natural Science at University of Parma in 1993 with a thesys in Ecology (idrobiology-idrochemistry). I attended masters in Information and Communication Technology (University of Bologna 2004) and in New Technology applied to the educational field (University of Padua 2001).

I’m science teacher since 1989 and I have made several experiences in the field of training and education in different situations. In 2003 – 2005 I was a member of the permanent editorial staff of a project of the Italian Ministry of Education aimed at providing assistance to school ICT professionals based
at the University of Genoa. I’m a high school Science Teacher in Trento. In 2007 I received a granting for detachment from teaching in order to carry out a special educational project called “progettosmilla.it” that is now in charge at the Natural Science Museum of Trento.

In 2006 progettosmilla.it has been selected to participate to the first Antarctic drilling campaign of ANDRILL. This is an integrated international project aimed to the study of the role of the cryosphere on the climatic system. I’ve worked at the ANDRILL educational and public outreach project in cooperation with scientists and teachers of the 4 participant nations.

I coordinate the editorial staff of the Science Museum of Trento for the web-based project “Inquiring on Climate and Energy” (Ici&En), aimed at the creation of a digital library of materials for earth system science teachers.
