About Candidate

My name is Carlos Soto, an engineer with more than 15 years of professional experience in the technology and space industries, where I led international projects in the fields of telecommunications, satellite operations, and advanced technical solutions.Today, I am fully dedicated to inspiring children to fall in love with programming and robotics. My mission is to transform complex concepts into fun, hands-on experiences that spark creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork.Over the past years, I have taught students aged 5 to 16, guiding them through platforms such as Scratch, Arduino, VEX Robotics, Minecraft Education, Micro:bit, and Python. Many of my students have gone on to participate in international competitions like the FIRST LEGO League, proudly showcasing their skills and innovation.What sets my teaching apart is the blend of real-world technical expertise and a passion for education. I bring the same rigor and vision from my engineering career into the classroom, while keeping lessons engaging, playful, and adapted to each child’s pace.I believe that STEAM education opens the doors to the future, and I am committed to creating opportunities for children to discover their talents, build confidence, and dream big.
