My name is Alex, I am an architect and I'm studying for my master's degree at University of São Paulo. My interest is to develop pedagogical devices to children to learn design process principles.
I consider the design process as a stimulus to initiate methodological process respecting the student’s social-cultural background and, at same time, a way to promote science and technology.  
My studies focus on low income communities and government schools and, at present, I run a pilot project called FABcitizenship.
