About me¶

Hi i am J van der Zijden I own my own 3D printers that are also used in the field I think that we have to introduce young people from the primary school to new technologies in order to create the inventors and innovators of tomorrow. STEM education is therefore very important

My background¶

I was born in Paramaribo, Suriname, but at the age off 8 months my parents went to the Netherlands because Suriname was a former colony of the Netherlands travelling was very easy. I grew up in Amsterdam and was part off the free movement. My luck in studying is that i have an high IQ, so i had an easy time at school. But at the end i got bored and at Higher education level i dropped out. Suriname people are really good entrepeneurs but they are also macGyvers, So i had lots off jobs untill 16 years ago my son was born and i bought my first computer. I learned my self the skills and after i got certificates of Cisco and i got in by IBM, and from there on my life path went to educating and sharing knowledge.
