This next guest of the Silesian Science Festival KATOWICE proves that a chemistry teacher can be an internet (or rather Interwebs!) star. Dawid Łasiński is the person behind the character of Pan Belfer [Mr Teach] (www.panbelfer.pl) — a teacher from the Interwebs. His Facebook fan page has over 38,000 likes, his Instagram follows more than 5,000 fans, and his educational channel on YouTube boasts over 65,000 subscriptions. His day job involves being a teacher at the Dezydery Chłapowski School Complex in Bolechów.
Dawid Łasiński is the winner of the Twórca Roku [Content Creator of the Year] competition in the education category and a laureate of the Twórca Roku 2021 award. He also received the award Digital Shaper 2020 — digitalisation and new technologies leader in Poland, and was the finalist of the Nauczyciel Roku 2020 [Teacher of the Year 2020] competition. Entered into the Top 100 list for the years 2019 and 2020 — a list of people who contributed in a significant way towards the development of digital skills in Poland.
He is also the author of the chemistry textbook for primary school published by Wydawnictwo MAC [MAC Publishing], as well as the initiator and co-creator of the internet projects in support of science such as Nauczycielwsieci.pl, Lekcjewsieci.pl, and Akademiaprzyrodnika.pl.
