The virtual visit is part of our outreach project called Modern and Contemporary Physics and Culture (in portuguese, Física e Cultura Moderna e Contemporânea) that traditionally meets teachers of basic education (up to high school) and works modern and contemporary physics concepts, low-cost experiments, class plans as well as presents national and international opportunities for teacher training. This year, with the pandemics and social isolation we decided to focus on online activities and bring international virtual visits and lectures in portuguese for national and international students, teachers and general public. Mostly, the students from the institute where I teach participate, and that already brings around 70 people to the activity but we have already had 150 people online at the same time. Therefore, the public varies a lot and has different levels of physics knowledge but the visit can, and it is very desirable to, address topics more advanced according to the guide will.
