Bio
His first contact with electronics began when he was very young when he opened a cassette to see what there was inside and what he saw pleased him, so he dedicated his entire student life to becoming an electronic engineer, and he got an “A” in his final project. He has been working in teaching since 1984. Educational robotics: its first steps began in 2009 with a visit to Malakabot, where it quickly saw the great possibilities this had and immediately introduced it as transversal content in the subjects it taught. With a highly motivated student group, they began their participation in micro robotics competitions (Madrid-Bot, Malakabot, Robolot, dbSariak and Robolid) and in projects (ARCE Project: “Learning Electronics through Robotics”, Guadalbot Project: “We learn Electronics using robotics”, PLUMA Project: Universal Microcontrolled Platform). Educational and industrial applications, Gutenberg3D Project. 3D design and printing. Creator of the first free 3D printer in Granada with a Prusa i2 under the umbrella of ClonWars. He currently volunteers with ENABLING THE FUTURE. A Global Network Of Passionate Volunteers Using 3D Printing To Give The World A “Helping Hand”. Member of the Robolot Team. He is currently studying English and learning to manage FPGAs through her participation in FPGAWars.
Project
We will meet in Faberllull Olot a passionate group of teachers, designers and creators of educational tools from around the world to promote these creative learnings in educational programming and robotics. Many of us already share projects during the year, from distant locations, enjoying the technologies that allow us to work remotely and asynchronously, but the personal and intensive meeting that Faberllull Olot offers us is an invaluable gift.
