Have you ever got 9 million points in the Candy Crush?
in less than 10 seconds?
My story begins when I broke my dad’s computer
for trying to hack a game.
I really liked one that was penguin,
but I was angry that to improve your character or to have more points
They charged you.
Then one day I saved the money
to buy me a membership within the game
and I asked my parents for the credit card
to which obviously they said no.
It was there when I started hacking.
I went online and learned to do it.
But when I tried to make the computer it was called
and since I did not know what to do, I quickly decided to turn it off.
Do you know what happened? I broke the hard drive
where was all my dad’s work.
Luckily, they were able to recover much of this information.
After this problem,
my uncles gave me a new computer
with which then I continued hacking.
This also had a similar purpose,
but it ended a little better.
My reputation as a hacker began to spread in the family
and my cousin passed me his account and those of his friends
to get him points in the Candy Crush.
[Laughs]
From then on they started calling me Iron Man.
Until one day I asked myself: what would happen
Yes, instead of hacking a game, do I create one?
Then I made one called Robot Galaxy
that it was an evil scientist named Wolf
that he wanted to keep all the resources of the earth
regardless of the consequences.
For this, he sent the humans into space in capsules.
The only survivor was Vieweye, the hero of the story.
From this, I made others related to bullying,
It was called Helpme !, which was for a contest,
another about racing, and another about robots.
Next we are going to show you a video
about Robot Galaxy and Helpme !.
We can see Vieweye fighting Wolf’s guards
trying to enter his empire.
Then we see Helpme! which is a game about bullying
that through different scenarios of discrimination
one learns how to react to them
and the different types of bullying that exist.
Here we can see how our viewer is seeing
that a normal guy is playing
and he falls, the one with the little hat makes fun of him.
Here we see ethnic discrimination on the part of the girls
towards the boy
And, finally, we see the typical case
that everyone is on the rondita and start screaming
“Fight fight Fight!”
At the end of the game we learn that we must all fight against bullying.
Thanks to this, I learned that I love programming
and I started to try other types of developments
such as web pages.
In one I decided to create an educational platform
of school management during the holidays, called Yepika.
The problem I had found was that my classmates
They could not buy the books ordered in language.
And with my website they were going to be able to download free books,
follow their qualifications, control attendance
and chat with friends.
At the beginning of the classes, I launched my enterprise to the market.
He spent a year of a lot of learning
in which something happened to me that I never thought would happen to me:
Just as I started hacking games
They hacked me and they broke my website.
And not only that, but I also came out in a digital magazine
as an example of a vulnerable platform.
[Laughs]
[Applause]
I wanted to beg you to please remove that article.
[Laughs]
The good thing is that, as the saying goes,
What does not kill you, strengthens you.
And from this experience, I learned a lot
of web security and I improved the page.
This was not the only surprise
that I took with this endeavor.
But I also took another one related to the name.
It turns out that the name he had chosen
It was the same one that had a cellar.
Then I had to change the logo, redesign the site,
and a lot of other things.
Without knowing it, on those vacations he had begun
the journey of the entrepreneur.
I got on the bus with a half empty bag of knowledge,
but eager to start this new journey.
At the second stop, I met the lady empathy and creativity.
With whom, exchanging opinions, we come to an idea
to help society.
In the third stage, I found
and I stopped dreaming ideas and I began to materialize them.
In the fourth, I found people willing to help me.
And in the fifth, the micro began to have certain failures.
Then together with the persistence lady we had to fix them.
That was the key moment to open the suitcase
and take out tools that he had.
In the sixth, and last, stop, I found growth.
With whom came adolescence and entrepreneurship.
They get along very well and go hand in hand.
As you may have noticed, I have been wrong on several occasions.
But that never stopped me from continuing.
My parents support me in everything I like to do,
and they have taught me not to be afraid of failure,
but on the contrary, making mistakes is good
as long as we do not make the same mistakes over and over again.
I love to start and program,
but it’s not the only thing I do.
But I also go to secondary, I go to English,
I join with friends and play football.
Doing a different activity does not condition you
to have a social life,
but on the contrary, it is one more activity.
And not only that,
It also brings you a lot of benefit.
As it allows you to help others with your projects
and it lets you know that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose,
but you should always continue.
Our time on this planet is very short.
Do not waste it.
And break with what prevents us from following our passions.
As I undertake, you can play basketball
or be good at their jobs.
But they always have to do things because they love doing them
and because they feel that time flies by doing that.
Finally, I would like to leave you a question.
What would you break to be encouraged to follow your passions?
Thank you very much.
[Applause]
