This was my interview with David Cuartielles, co-found of Arduino, Cuartielles has been an active advocate for open-source technology and has contributed to various projects focused on education, interactive installations, and creativity in the technology domain. He has been involved in initiatives that aim to democratize technology and promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education worldwide. We talked about his journey as an educator and the catch-22 of open source, his experience in being thrown into teaching and finding his path within it, and maintaining education relevant.
