José Cascalho is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of the Azores (UAc). He is a member of the direction board of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer Science Laboratory of the University of Porto (LIACC) and a member of the Scientific Council of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of the Azores. He has a PhD in Computer Science from the UAc and a Masters in Informatics from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. Over the last six years he dedicated to training in the Computer Science degree programme at the UAc, being responsible for the AI Curriculum Unit, and started a postgraduate course in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, aimed at primary and secondary school teachers as director. Two projects took shape along the way. A robotics club was set up at the University of the Azores, which supports educational robotics activities and supports training with a robotics-related course in the Computer Science degree programme, and the PeCOT project – Computational Thinking with Tangible Objects (2023-2024) promoting challenges for primary school pupils aged between six and eight. Since 2019. I have been organising a robotics festival called AZORESBOT in partnership with schools in the region. Other projects have been preparing future research more closely linked to the ocean. They are SIMSEA and SEATHINGS. The first project concerns a multi-agent simulation of fishing in the Azores region, while the second deals with the construction of repositories about the sea, using technology that intersects with AI.
