[Music]
so when I was a kid I always went a lot
curious
I’ve always been the very restless child.
I always wanted to know the
I had fun not accepting much
limits the ones that my parents
what school happened to me then I
was not very much in line with the average
children to school, right?
in fact as a child I had many
dreams I dreamed I was in the
Star Wars
I have 48 years I grew my
basic education decade of the 70s
80
so I got the star launch there
wars I loved those movies with
those panels full of control with
those special effects with those
space narratives
I participated in many activities in
school representing this issue of
fiction of films but the
school her as yourself is even
today they realized the school was a
place that I did not like either
much
I felt very bored is the school does not
met my expectations so always
mechanisms for not
participate in class to not be
I was in class and I became a
political very early I was student leader
and as a student leader you mobilize
to do many projects within the
school do many activities organize
events anyway this is never me
I imagined that I would really be
preparing some of my behavior
and my competences for the
entrepreneurship and I only remember
two teachers at school time a
teacher with ten years
I told him that I had a dream.
much
big and pilot and he said it is but you
will never be able to pilot because
you do not like math
that was a bucket of very cold water
big and the other teacher teacher
I remember the teacher very well.
She was in high school, she taught me
helped a lot in writing and I
I studied in public school almost all of
my life, only two years I studied in
good private school had a
feature
in my childhood in my identity
as a child as a teenager
I did not want to wait to do the
my dreams I wanted to conquer my
dreams in a very fast way do not
I wanted to wait for college and finish
studies work as I come from a
very simple family my father teacher
and my mother seamstress so I had
I did not get toys
I rarely won a toy the
my toys my childhood ego went
go to the remnants of construction in the neighborhoods
bring cement tiles and build
cities with remains of construction and
The only way I saw it was to be able to
realize my dreams fast was
when I was 11 years old I decided to
to build a shoebox for
to shine shoes and to carry out the
My dream is, thank God, my mother.
never was that mother who is ashamed of
which prohibits you from making certain
things when she sees something positive in the
interest in the motivation and
So I started behind my dreams.
so at the age of 11 I started to grease
shoes
then went to do door-to-door selling
of table and bath bedding
then comes a club title and then there’s
13 years old was invited to enter a
company and then decided to change my
studies for the night
I started to study at night and then I
I began to conquer many things that
I wanted to dream and very fast.
in my life it accelerated a lot because
at
my achievements were also very
fast with my money in 1984 I
I bought my first computer
I bought a keyboard exhibited I started
learn to program on this computer
five years later I enter one of the
companies that develop software that
sells software for the project area
which is a great reference in the
Brazil was very young and I started to act
in this company in the area of ​​development
of projects but focused on the area
and started to develop many
competences within a context of
home
the project you have a problem to
solve
you have to pool resources to
solve you have to manage time
budget tasks people and this me
developed as much as the young man with
that in 1996 I decide founded 1-blue
education for life that our company
We are 21 years old, we are not one
statue we start with a focus of
take to school what I already
I wanted since the time I was
student
I wanted a different school one
school that motivated me
challenge me to give myself the opportunity
to involve my potential and all of us
We know that school today is very
the program content when the
systems of evaluation and with that we
launched the area of ​​educational robotics in
brazil 1996 we developed a plaque
using electronic controlled me then
8051 we developed a software we started
to take this to the schools
At that moment I realized that I had
hands something very good something very powerful
to transform education that the
educational robotics
it’s not just about creating robots
who has already participated in a tournament
robotics wise kids has even a motto
it is not about creating students
creating a robot but building robots
people because it ‘s your opportunity
create from you teamwork
solve problems overcome challenges
gather resources to solve
comes the whole question of perseverance
teamwork ability to
solve systemic vision problems
of how things work
So this started to charm me a lot.
I started to realize people we have.
in our hands something very very
powerful
So we started taking this pro.
Brazil, not only in schools
private schools but also public schools
huh
I had the opportunity I had the opportunity to
see students who was 8 9 and 10 years old
today are teachers are masters 1
finishing his doctorate in neurosciences
huh
and will work in the area of ​​education and are the
bright young people not only in appearance
skills but how people have
a world view a desire to
contribute to building a world
best
now the biggest challenge of people like
company was of skill scale me
frustrated to see robotics restricted to
a group of students in an extra class
curriculum with the mentor teacher who
like technology like programming
because because we were already
realizing that robotics is not just for
who wants to enter the exact or
for students geek students
robotic intelligence can be
everyone who develops the skills and
skills and has an environment where
things are not ready until students
in robotics teams that focus on
managing the team prepares the team for the
travel prepare budgets search
sponsorships then all this environment
learning is provided by the
educational robotics
now the challenge was scalability
so I had the opportunity to talk
a journey that struck me I went
to the United States the middle and meets with
an old man was one of the founders of
media lab Mr. Pope who has passed away
I told the pope and his ideas
construccionista of learning by doing
robotics programming that
is programmed with the language as soon as
15 years ago or over 20 years this is
only great ideas can revolutionize
education but how of scalability
for that and then I showed an idea for
he creates an activity one
methodology where any teacher
could use not only a teacher
robotics any teacher could
use and with that we can give
the skill scale that Brazil has
today
so we also started the tournaments
robotics in Brazil in 1999 to today
tournaments are already happening in all
states are already several leagues of
robotics
I think today the robot she won
a speed is like never before in
Brazil
students are mentoring others
times
today things grow organically
or many years to sun for 19 years agent
sustained the tournaments in Brazil as
social initiative and I had the
opportunity with my
also fulfill my dreams and from
Child I always had a dream to be
plane pilot and nine years ago I
I was able to realize this dream and today I go
I already voted in this hunting with our beloved
astronaut marks bridges and am an adept
of the amphibious road, then this is mine.
childhood dream that I was able to realize
believing in him
believing in the people who are together
with me and believing in this
robotics and mechatronics
thanks for the opportunity
