Workshop: Introduction to IT, Software, Hardware and Peopleware

I gave a small workshop (around 5h along three sessions) for policemen about what is Information Technology (IT), software, hardware, and peopleware. The course was a requirement for the experienced policemen (+30 years of service) to be promoted. The students were 50-60 years old. It was a nice opportunity to train my teaching skills because I really had to be simple and straightforward in the content explanation. Also, nice to talk to policemen that work ethically (most of them) to make good for society and have in Brazil such a low salary and unstable situation. I also used the workshop to collect some data about what do they think can influence most the spatial distribution of crime, e.g., geographic factors. So I surveyed them to collect data and use in my masters thesis.
