Daniel, can you introduce yourself please :

« From a very early age, I started showing interest in mechanics and inventions. This was highly motivated by the curious technical influence of my close family, in which we’ve always advocated for making the most of every little thing, scavenging broken devices and gathering even the smallest pieces to repurpose them.

I spent the early days of my life making my own toys and discovering every single branch of technology that I encountered finding computing, electronic hardware and robotics especially interesting.

With that I started studying my degree in Electronics and Automatization in my town’s university, where I was finally able to name what I had been doing my whole life: “DIY-ing.”

University provided me with the right people and the right tools to fully develop my curiosity, and how easy it was to learn things by doing projects and being reached by other people of my age, a far cry of conventional teaching.

A feeling of gratitude that I wanted to share with other people through the maker movement. Soon enough I met Vulca’s representatives, and I got familiar with their mission, in which I fell in love instantly. Which led me to contact them during my Erasmus Exchange in order for them to provide me with advice and different resources to spread the word about this wonderful, community-based movement. »
