Espaitec, the Science and Technology Park of the Universitat Jaume I, through its FabLab, organised this Monday a Technological Evening with the participation of David Cuartielles, co-founder of Arduino. The meeting, held at the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences, was attended by more than 90 participants from the university community and external entities.

David Cuartielles is a telecommunications engineer and since 2000 he has been a professor at the University of Malmö (Sweden), where he also directs the Content Unit. In this sense, Cuartielles explained that the academy offered him the opportunity to combine engineering and contemporary art, standing out for applying programming techniques to design.

Cuartielles also stressed that one of his main objectives throughout his career has been to give visibility to technology in order to obtain feedback from society. For this reason, together with Massimo Banzi, Tom Igoe, and David Mellis, he created Arduino, a platform that has democratised access to technology, enabling thousands of people to create their own projects in an accessible and economical way thanks to the software they have developed and the hardware they have designed. The software currently has more than 60 million downloads.

During his speech, Cuartielles highlighted the importance of collaboration and community spirit in the development of Arduino, mentioning that the open source culture has been key to the expansion of technological innovation. He also pointed out the advantages that open source offers, such as lifelong learning, resilience to face complex challenges and the opportunity for complex collaborations.

Attendees had the opportunity to actively participate in the session, interacting with Cuartielles and discussing the future of open source hardware and its application in sectors such as education, prototyping and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Espaitec's Technological Evening is part of the "Recicla't Espaitec" cycle, which is co-financed by the Regional Ministry of Education, Culture, Universities and Employment.
