Introducing Sparktech team
Cesar Benemelis - President
As a Cuban refugee who flew away from Communism and lack of opportunities, I thank my parents every day for the bold and brave decisions they took to guarantee freedom and opportunities for me. I also thank the education system here in US and my way to return the blessing is by giving hope to those brilliant minds who do not have the opportunities to be inspired and do cool things. I am teaching them to build robots and to recycle parts and components, I shared with them old parts and pieces for them to be able to start.
