40 high school teachers gathered for a week of immersion in the cutting-edge research and development environment at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM)

The fifth edition of the Sirius School for High School Teachers (ESPEM 2023), organized by CNPEM in partnership with the Brazilian Physical Society (SBF), was held July 17–21 in Campinas, São Paulo.   For the first time, this event brought together representatives from all Brazilian states as well as the Federal District among the 40 high school physics, chemistry, and biology teachers who were chosen from 349 applicants. Of the final 40, 85% teach in state or municipal public schools, while 15% work in private or federal public institutions. The region with the greatest representation was the Northeast, with 11 teachers. Since its first edition in 2019, the ESPEM event has served over 500 teachers from municipal, state, federal, and private schools throughout the country.
