Greta Galli (@gretagalli_tech), twenty -two years old, a very high qi and a great love for robotics, tells us how everything was born thanks to the teachings of the grandfather
Stem, an acronym for English origin that indicates science, technology, engineering (engineering) and mathematics. This term that contains the fields of study of scientific and technological disciplines, could not fail to be among the protagonists of the social world. Among his ambassadors, a prestigious place won Greta Galli, @gretagalli_tech. Elected by fortunes among the best 25 content creators of 2024, fresh and safe speaker, a qi of 133 (the world average is around 100), twenty -two years spent to love robotics.
Greta, from Dwhere this is born your passion ?
“The passion was born out of the “fault” of the grandfather, a former mechanic, who at three years of age put me hammer, nails and a piece of wood. The game was “put nail, remove nail”. At four he made me try the drill, the flexible at five. Whatever I wanted to do, he was satisfied with me: obviously he was there with me and it was very careful that I didn’t hurt me, but everything was strictly made secretly by mom and grandmother! And so I approached the mechanical world. In addition, I’ve always been passionate about Lego bricks. At eleven, I discovered that there was just one of their exhibitions near home. Inside there was also a robotic lego laboratory, then lego with engines and sensors, which you could build and plan. To access this laboratory, however, you had to be at least twelve years old … “
I bet here too, the grandfather will have put his hand …
“That’s right, we managed to convince the manager to let us access, and that day I think I found my real way. That day I said to myself:“ I want to do this in life. Building robot! ” Computer and for robotics, I did the industrial technical institute to develop all the skills of electronics and at the end of the third I developed the robotic hand, the one that would then have made me famous enough in the Covid period. “
Can you explain to us what this robotic hand consists of?
“I developed it independently, it was not linked to any school project, and I built it using the same LEGOs that I had given myself for my twelfth birthday. In my fifteen -year -old Nerd mind, I wondered why the prostheses could not grow up with people. When you take a prosthesis is in size of your stature, so the children have a prosthesis, the boys have another one, the adults another one. So I said to myself: isn’t it possible to make a prosthesis that grows with the person? And the Lego bricks came to the rescue. This idea had a lot of success, I brought it to several events and, in fact, contributed to my notoriety on social media.
Precisely. How did you start doing content creator?
“When Covid broke out, to remedy boredom, I started making videos. At a time when almost everyone looked at them and shake them, I started making them, without expectations. And so everything started. My fourth video became viral immediately! Very rare event, usually it takes many videos, before being viral! The fact that, when I started, was a fairly unusual matter, and that she was a girl who explained her, played in my favor. In the first videos I didn’t speak, then I started taking my hand and the profile exploded! “
After Covid, hto the start the last year school with TheLarge baggage of social channel. How was it?
“Let’s say that the return to school was a bit strange, initially the teachers were a little worried I dedicate myself exclusively to videos and I focused little on the school. In reality I was only disposing of difficulties related to the Covid period. Then fortunately they understood that my new job was not impactful on school performance. After the diploma I made computer and I delivered the thesis just three weeks ago! “
In addition to the social profile, you have written A textbook adopted for the teaching of the technology In themiddle schoolsand you yourself taught
“Yes I taught both children and adults programming and robotics. The children are fantastic: they go crazy when they see a robot!
What you want do when you grow up?
“The teacher! I have no doubts! Now I will be the master of telecommunications engineering to become in all respects. Like that day eleven years ago, in that laboratory, I understood that in life I would have liked to build robots, now those robots, I want to teach to build them!
