The Art of Turning Ideas Into Reality by PLACITECH
What does it really take to turn an idea into a fully working piece of hardware? In this talk, I share how I design and build microcontroller based projects that combine electronics, custom 3D printed enclosures, and mechanical systems into cool, functional devices! I will walk through how simple ideas grow into real builds through experimentation, iteration, and problem solving, even when things do not work the first time. This session is designed to feel approachable and practical, showing that you do not need perfection to start building. Throughout the presentation, I will demo three original projects live: a Retro-Futuristic Console, a High-Speed Ping Pong Launcher, and a custom PC Control Panel.

MateoTechLab | How to Build a Difference
I’m a self-taught teen maker turning imagination into real, wearable tech. My name is Mateo, I am an Engineering YouTuber who loves to document my projects through films. From imagination to ideas; come see the evolution of my robotic arms and functional Iron Man hands in person, plus the early 3D printed prototypes that started them all. Feel free to stop by and say hello to Pico, my shoulder robot and sidekick who's full of personality! What began as personal projects, these inventions led me to present at science fairs and competitions all over the world. Today, I focus on inspiring young creators to start building, like I once did. This year, I’ll be sharing how to build a difference, at Maker Faire Miami.
