Campus Party Brasil

São Paulo · 2008–2017 · 8 editions

Campus Party is the longest-running thread in my speaking history. What started as attending in 2008 turned into designing and curating an entire hands-on robotics area: the Oficina de Robótica Livre (Free Robotics Workshop) and the Desafio de Robótica Livre (Free Robotics Challenge), a line-follower competition built entirely on open hardware and open tooling.

Across the editions the content followed the technology: from bare Arduino and homemade Severino boards, through 3D printing, to ESP8266 and wearable PCBs.

2017

Two workshops in the official programme:

• Esqueça o Arduino: desvendando o ESP8266
• Faça a sua própria placa de circuito eletrônico — Wearables

Also took part in a panel alongside Newton C. Braga. Designed and 3D-printed custom badge holders for the team.

2016

Free Robotics Challenge, plus 3D-printed parts and trophies produced on site for the competing teams.

2015

Workshops and the Free Robotics area.

2014

Talk “Leo Livre e Xduino: as customizações do Arduino que estão sendo utilizadas”, recorded and part of the official CPBR7 programme.

2012

Curator of the Free Robotics Challenge — wrote the official rules, assembled the component and tooling lists, and ran the workshop kits.

2011

Free Robotics Workshop, built around the Arduino Severino (S3V3) board and ATmega8/168 programming. Also spoke at the opening session.

2009

Arduino workshop using the Arduino 0012 toolchain.

2008

First edition attended.
