Why watch this summit?
Hi, I'm Peter, the host of this Virtual Summit.
Throughout my journey in electronics, programming and making, I’ve been fortunate to learn from some of the best technologists, professional and amateurs.
I truly believe that the Speakers in this virtual Maker Mind Meld they will change the way you think and create things too.
These world-class makers have demonstrated again and again their skills through the things that they make. They share their best advice, and strategies to help you become a better maker.
And they are ready to help you move forward on your journey in using technology to create things and solve problems. If you are a maker, then you need to listen to what they have to say.
Let our experts guide you, step-by-step. They will give you the advice and tools you need to create amazing things.
When I finally decided that I wanted to be the best Maker and Educator I possibly can, I was able to go from consumer of other people's ideas to being a creator.
Being a creator is something that really, very few people experience. And it's a shame. It's a huge loss for them, for their families and friends, and for the whole world.
Being a creator gave me a path to grow as an individual, and to help others do the same.
Being a creator changed my life.
I want to help you become a creator of things, and a creator of knowledge. This is why I created this Summit.
Many of the Speakers in this Summit have helped me in the pursue my goal, and in answering my "why".
If your goal is to be the best Maker you can possibly be, it's safe to say that the Maker Mind Meld Summit deserves your time, effort and complete focus.
MEET YOUR HOST, Dr Peter Dalmaris
Hi, I’m Peter.
I am an online educator and Maker, author of Maker Education Revolution, KiCad Like a Pro, and founder at Tech Explorations.
My mission is to help people learn electronics, programming, printed circuit board design, and lots more.
Most importantly, I want to help as many people as possible to enjoy their technology education adventures.
After a 15 year career as a University Lecturer, I decided to become a Maker, again. Like most of us, as a child, I was curious, and I learned how things worked by experimenting with them (usually, this meant taking them apart and hoping to not loose any screws as I was putting things back together).
Growing up, I became an Engineer, only to loose my childish curiosity in the name of pursuing a career.
I became a child again once I got my first Arduino. With it, I started creating thing, tinkering with components, testing ideas. Even though I was a "career educator", it was only now that I realised how wrong my last 15 years of education had been. I was partly responsible for destroying the creativity of thousands of students, just like mine had been destroyed in the pursue of grades.
At Tech Explorations, my job is to learn and to create. I learn what I am curious about, and I create educational content. This content is the record of my learning.
We are all learners, and we learn from each other.
I sincerely hope that through the content I create at Tech Explorations, as many people as possible will be inspired to re-kindle their childhood curiosity, learn, and create amazing things.
