Applications open for island pool for operation assistants in Azorean schools
The Regional Secretary for Education, Culture and Sport, Sofia Ribeiro, announced the opening of applications for island pools for the recruitment of operational assistants for Azorean schools this Wednesday, June 11. "This is a unique procedure in the country and is intended to make the process less bureaucratic for those who apply, ensuring a faster replacement in regional schools," she said. Applicants can choose which islands and schools they want to apply for and the type of employment contract they are looking for, "whether is a contract of indefinite duration or a fixed-term or unfixed-term contract." "They can select the islands and the schools as well as the type of contracts they want to have access to, and then, depending on the needs of school establishments, they are placed in rank order," explained Sofia Ribeiro. Nevertheless, applicants will qualify through a recruitment procedure, "complying with all the rules for access to the civil service" for a “one-year period," joining an island pool. According to the head of Education, the process is intended to respond to temporary hiring needs due to sick leave.

Santa Maria hosts third edition of CanSat Junior Azores
On May 30 and 31, the island of Santa Maria hosted the third edition of CanSat Junior Azores, an educational initiative involving 15 teams of 78 students and 15 teachers, representing the nine islands of the archipelago. The event was marked by science, innovation and team spirit. With a view to motivating young people towards STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) areas, CanSat Júnior challenged basic education school students to build functional microsatellites - the so-called CanSats - simulating a miniature space mission, from launch to data collection and analysis. This edition was a true example of regional inclusion and diversity, with teams from all islands of the archipelago actively participating in this initiative that promotes interest in space technologies and applied sciences. At the end of the competition, the three best teams were distinguished: 1st place: R0cket Fus10n, from Madalena do Pico Basic Education and Secondary School 2nd place: ESAQ-AIR, from Antero de Quental Secondary School (São Miguel) 3rd place: WhalAIR-SAT, from Lajes do Pico Basic Education and Secondary School The third edition of CanSat Junior has once again established itself as a benchmark initiative for promoting scientific and technological skills among young Azoreans, stimulating curiosity, teamwork and problem-solving - essential skills for the challenges of the future. Cansat Junior Azores is organised by the Azorean Government in partnership with the Portuguese delegation of the European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO Portugal), Ciência Viva - National Agency for Scientific and Technological Culture, and the Portuguese Space Agency - Portugal Space. It has the support of the Municipality of Vila do Porto, LeoLabs, EDA, ANACOM, Mirpuri Foundation, OASA, RAEGE-Az, Atlantic Spaceport Consortium, Santa Maria Museum, Santo Espírito Parish Council and NAV Portugal.
