Hello fellow makers! My name is David and I am from Asturias, a green and rainy region in northern Spain.
I have over ten years of experience in marine engineering, working in both Spain and the UK. During that time, I had the opportunity to work on small and large-scale engineering projects I was involved in different stages of ship design, including ferries, windfarm support vessels, and large luxury yachts. It was a fantastic experience, particularly collaborating with multidisciplinary and international teams.
In 2014 I completed a master´s degree in education and since then I have been working in secondary education in the UK and United Arab Emirates. This has enabled me to gain a better understanding of teaching methods and techniques, especially in the area of STEAM subjects. I also had the opportunity to work in well-equipped schools, that featured laser cutters, 3D printers and other equipment, enabling students to explore different processes and materials to manufacture their ideas.
Recently I relocated back to Spain and now live near Madrid, where I am involved in an exciting project consisting of launching and coordinating 3 digital fabrication labs in rural areas of the Community of Madrid.
I am eager to expand my knowledge and learn more through this course with Fab Academy
Fortunately, I am embarking on this journey with the support of the fantastic team at Fab Lab León.
