GalsTech will give, within the program of the fourth edition of the Maker Faire Galicia, a conference structured in 5 talks given by six professionals of the sector. Firstly we will see María Saez and Verónica Pérez on stage, María is a top SEO consultant and Verónica a project coordinator for Bahía Software, talking about why communities matter. Next up Jéssica Martínez, a junior software developer, will give us an understanding of HTML and CSS. Ana Cidre, a developer advocate for Ultimate Angular will follow and will talk about what a Google Developer Expert is and how to become one. Mercedes Rodríguez is specialised in ChatBots and will talk about Actions on Google. Last but not least we will have Esperanza González, who is a very promising upcoming frontend developer and will discuss functional programming with JavaScript.
The Galstech talks will be open to everyone, suitable for both a beginner audience and a more advanced audience. The promotion of respect for diversity and inclusion are the basic values that they defend, values that we also share and support from Maker Faire Galicia.

Conceived as an atypical conference where there are no speakers or agenda, in the NOS Open Space the attendees themselves will be in charge of the event, choosing the topics to be discussed and the sessions to be held by popular vote.
As they say in the NOS DAY website: “none of the talks will be given by a single person, interactive discussion is sought between people with different points of view and experience in different fields”. A completely free format that invites to the open participation of all those who want to contribute with their experiences, ideas and questions.
The NOS Open Space will take place on November 24, within the program of activities of the Maker Faire Galicia. In the following link you can know a little more about the proposal:

Graduated in Electronics and Automation Engineering from the Carlos III University of Madrid. He is currently finishing a Master in Robotics that he combines with his work in R&D, prototyping and Robotics.
He has worked for many years in the field of educational robotics, training teachers and students from the community of Madrid in Arduino and 3D printing, and also as a teacher in STEM courses for teachers at the International University of La Rioja (UNIR). In addition, he is one of the authors of the textbooks Programming of the Things of Set Ventiuno, Santillana.
His master’s thesis, focused on the integration of open source FPGAs for bioinspired robots, has been published at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2018). Passionate about the maker movement, free culture and the integration of robotics in society, he jokes that his dream is “to create a robot that wants to end humanity, be destroyed in the past, and return from the future reprogrammed to save it.”

David Aguilar was born with a malformation in his arm. When he was just 9 years old, thanks to his ingenuity, he started to build an arm from basic pieces of Lego mixed with pieces of other robotic toys and tweezers.
A few years later, he finally got to build his first complete articulated arm using the pieces of a toy helicopter of his favorite brand. He did it in just 5 days! “When I move the arm the hand opens and closes, which allows me to pick up light objects and also push-ups”, he says. The arm was named MK1, which would later be followed by the MK2, made from a Lego airplane. The MK2 is a more advanced model that includes a battery that allows him to automate movements and load heavier objects. Since a few weeks ago, he has a new version of the arm, the MK3, made from a Lego crane of more than 4,000 pieces. A model much more evolved than the previous one.
David Aguilar has been designated ambassador of the Degree in Bioengineering of the International University of Catalonia (UIC) and has recently been awarded in Paris with the silver medal of the Universal League of Public Good for his services to humanity.
In his presentation at the Maker Faire Galicia people will see how the prosthesis works and how he uses them.

Known worldwide for his transhumanist ideas, José Cordeiro, an engineer at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, believes that advances in science and technology will not only stop aging, but rejuvenate people if they wish. “Death will be optional in 3 decades,” he says.
In 2016, he received the Health Excellence award for the promotion and dissemination of advances in longevity and life extension. He is a member of the World Academy of Art and Science; and, moreover, he was a founding professor of the Singularity University, an organization created by Google and NASA to study issues such as the evolution of artificial intelligence and disruptive technologies such as cryopreservation.
In all probability, one of the most controversial talks of this edition of the Maker Faire Galicia.

Gael Langevin is a French sculptor and designer. He works for the biggest brands since more than 25 years. InMoov is his personal project, it was initiated in January 2012 as the first Open Source prosthetic hand, it has lead to projects like Bionico, E-Nable, and many others.
InMoov is the first Open Source 3D printed life-size robot. Replicable on any home 3D printer with a 12x12x12cm area, it is conceived as a development platform for Universities, Laboratories, Hobbyist, but first of all for Makers.
It’s concept, based on sharing and community, gives him the honor to be reproduced for countless projects through out the world.
Gael Langevin has confirmed his attendance for the 4th edition of the Maker Faire Galicia, where we will have the unique opportunity to meet InMoov in person.

For this edition of 2018, we repeat the formula of last year with the Friday 23 dedicated to the professional sector of industry 4.0 and the Maker Movement. The weekend, Saturday 24 and Sunday 25, is kept to the general public, with a programme for all audiences: workshops, talks, performances or championships among many other scheduled activities that seek to surprise the visitor.
In this new edition we also bet on the internationality of the event, with speakers and reference exhibitors, among which we have already confirmed French designer Gael Langevin, from InMoov, creator of the first humanoid open source robot.
From today the application form is available for both the professional day and the general day.
For the Professional Day we will make a selection of the 10 finalist projects, giving priority to the ones that can be applied directly to the industry 4.0, offering solutions or complements to the sector. The makers will be able to show their projects and make contacts with potential investors or partners. In addition, a professional jury will choose the three most innovative. € 1000, € 500 and € 250 are the prizes that will be awarded for the first, second and third place respectively, plus an accrediting trophy.
For the General Days, makers can apply with projects of all disciplines (science, robotics, gastronomy, mechanics, electronics, urban art, music, crafts, education, etc.). Innovation, originality and interactivity with the visitors are the aspects that are most valued when choosing the final projects. During the event, in addition, the public will be able to vote for the best projects shown at the weekend. The winning categories are: Maker, Minimaker (projects made by girls and boys under 14), Senior Maker (third age makers) and educational projects (schools, institutes, associations, universities, vocational training, etc.)
Call for Makers ends on October 15. Sign up now!
