I believe I can make a difference in the world. I consider myself a MexiCAN not a MexiCAN´T. I believe in the power of knowledge and even more in the community knowledge. I love music, coffee, teaching and being a dad. I entered into the world of making in my senior year of industrial engineering back in 2009, I build a multi-touch coffee table thanks to a community forum.

What inspired you to begin investigating your topic or inspired you to make your project?:
Maker movement changed my life completely, I just to walk all over my University carrying an Arduino and asking people if they knew what it was, most of them didn't know so I thought them. Once I found that there were more spread over the country I decided to go and meet them and start a community with them so that we can make an impact in our country.
