I’m not the antrum ultra and I’m a
student at tangling trust I’m a 15 year
old maker tech enthusiast and
entrepreneur I’m highly interested in
industry 4.0 digital age digitalization
and disruption having mean super
interesting interest in stem from a
young age I built product concept that’s
all personal problems of mine using open
source software and hardware I’ve had
the opportunity to participate in
multiple events which I’ll tell you more
about later I’ve been able to share my
passion with many people and I feel that
I’m doing my bit in in creating the
domino effect and getting more people to
think like makers now you may be
wondering who are makers the fundamental
idea of the maker mindset is to try new
things and not be scared of failing I
personally started off by with simple
projects then followed Instructables
then went on to more complex projects
and now I believe I’m at the stage that
people get inspired by my projects I
also believe that asking why not is a
fundamental thing to do the maker
mindset
why can’t rock is be reusable why can’t
autonomous ships be run from Arduino and
why can’t factories be decentralized
with 3d printers cyber-physical devices
have always amazed me from a young age I
was fascinated by how things work I
started by trying to make RC planes and
RC cars and try and tinker with them and
that is what led me into more advanced
electronics and circuitry after shifting
to Singapore in 2015 hi drone robotics
connection which allowed me to take part
in the ID 2015 my team and I made a
smart fan that wouldn’t work that just
wouldn’t work till the time we had to
present but when it did finally work we
won the gold medal for engineering and
that event really taught me perseverance
and the importance of perseverance as
few of my peers may remember in year 8 I
presented presented to my year group on
the possibilities of Arduino and open
source tech and I was hoping to get some
of my friends interested in the world of
making in 2016
I participated in my very first Maker
Faire mr. Falls very kindly attended
ported me I presented snitch version one
but what was most important from the
maker fess was that I met people and
expanded my network
my very first hackathon was the sttd
hackathon in 2017 although I only got to
know about this event because of the
make affair for those of you who don’t
know what a hackathon is it is where you
have 24 hours to make a prototype
followed by pitching and demos you have
to work all night and in this very
hackathon I made the mobile Braille
printer it was a great experience for me
and I surely wanted to do it again as my
network grew as well as their interest
in to make a movement in Singapore among
peers my age more events started coming
up I was invited to speak at Tech
Saturday where I could share my projects
and even get more people interested in
to the possibilities of Technology this
was the first time I was on a public
stage in front of such a big audience
and personally miking upwards one of the
coolest experiences I’ve also been
certified as a mentoring catalyst by
Intel as well as a mentor by Autodesk
these catalyst programs has enabled me
to mentor young innovators and share my
knowledge and experience earlier this
year I showcased multiple product
concepts at the Maker Faire 2018
including Smit version 2 and smart I are
both of these concepts I made as they
make my daily life more convenient I was
also invited to speak at the Maker
conference 2018 on how makers learn by
failing social companies this topic was
initiated with my brief experiences at
various companies in Singapore working
together with mr. bleach I was excited
to see the DT lab come to life through
the CAD cam CCA seeing my peers and
friends enjoy making was very
encouraging we presented what we made at
the one not Science Festival back when I
was in year 9 we had a mini makeup fan
tangle I let the Arduino group and
hopefully I was able to get more
students and fellow peers interested in
the possibilities of open source
technology most recently a group of
friends from school join me at a
hackathon where we made Ariat an
augmented reality IOT into
making an AR up was a first for all of
us although as we are all true makers we
weren’t scared of failing and we weren’t
scared of trying new things for most of
them it was their first hackathon and we
as a group hope to continue the trend in
summary I believe that one thing leads
to another learning by doing
failing and doing again is an essential
part of making it is this mindset that I
encourage more people to embrace and I
also believe that prototyping and
innovation don’t need to be high cost exercises and is open to everyone
