Thanks to the software, there are different possible solutions without having to ask permission.”
Later, it was time to listen to Joan Cwaik, Matías Massotti, Nicolás Fernández Miranda, in their panel Emerging technologies, neurosciences and telemedicine. With a room full of entrepreneurs, students, executives and content creators, Cwaik and team told how technology is a key instrument in the processes of change and adaptation. “We are in a world where technology advances by leaps and bounds and far behind human life. It is necessary to balance fears and possibilities and not face technology, but to be able to take advantage of the opportunities it has,” said Joan Cwaik.Then, Julieta Luz Porta and Paz Álvarez joined to tell their experience as entrepreneurs with impact on science and technology. Both, with a unique clarity and charisma, recounted their journeys inside and outside entrepreneurship and how teamwork facilitates carrying out innovative projects. They are also convinced that the opportunities are there, you just have to be attentive and prepared for when they arrive. “The one who achieves is the one who moves,” said Julieta Luz Porta. Clara O’Farrell, an Argentine speaker who is part of the NASA team, captured the attention of the audience with her talk on From Mars to Earth: development of new technologies to collect samples from the red planet. Clara also picked up the gauntlet of technology and innovation when she mentioned: “Being part of a team that designed and tested the Perseverance parachute, gave me the possibility to experience the great challenge of launching a rocket from another planet. The goal of the mission is to tour a lake that will allow us to find life on Mars.”
And Asier Arranz, AI Developer Marketing Manager at NVIDIA, as a faithful campusero who accompanies this event long ago filled the stage and debated Is artificial intelligence more creative than you? Maybe so! What does the future hold? To close, after a day for all tastes and interests, going through crypto, NFT, music and entertainment, science and environment, Paulina Cocina and Damián Kuc were in charge of closing a robust, varied and super interesting agenda. What did they talk about? From her time on YouTube, her experience with the social network, and even some advice from Pauilina that made the full audience laugh: “We all have to have a manager”. “We close another face-to-face edition of this great event with great pride, more than 3000 campuseros in one place. We love to bring more people this innovative experience that allows learning and entrepreneurship in the world of technology, “said Lucrecia Gratas, Project Manager Southern Cone of Campus Party.
