Carl Bärstad

Lead instigator at “Entreprenorskyrkan”,
Sweden

Having gone through conventional education himself, Carl tells us the story of how he reclaimed his own curiosity by “hacking himself” and how he is now using this insight to make technology more fun, engaging and accessible in the 21st century “classroom” through his projects Hackerspace in a box and Kids Hack Day to foster curiosity-fueled learning and creative thinking. Carl graduated in 2011 from Lunds Tekniska Högskola with a MSc in Industrial Engineering and Management. He wrote his master thesis on Communicating Science, taking him away from the academic setting towards a more hands-on approach to education, starting with kids.
