David Alcoba, for many years, has been working as a software engineer, who likes to play with electronics in his spare time. While he was responsible for designing and building highly secure distributed applications for the industry, he also decided to start gaining more and more knowledge of digital fabrication tools every day. Then, he realized that he'd just discovered a world where all of his different interests could be merged into a single project.

Based on this idea, he helped create Vailets Hacklab in 2014, a local community in Barcelona that aims to hack the current educational system so that kids might be come cocreators of their future through technology instead of being just consumers.

Following the spirit of this initiative, David decided to cofound Makerkids Barcelona, a small start-up focused on providing professional services for schools and organizations to engage kids into the new maker movement and follow the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) educative principles.
