 My name is Gici. I'm a Berkman Fellow this year and I'm also the co-founder and creative director of GVtronics, which is an educational hardware company. I'm really excited about exploring open innovation specifically around patents and how we can hack the patent system to support sharing of inventions rather than closing it off. And the reason I care deeply about this is because as a maker and an entrepreneur and kind of an individual that's not a giant company, I'm interested in exploring alternative ways to create and make an impact with my inventions. For example, one of the inventions that I created as part of my PhD research is this idea of using stickers that are also electronics. And the idea is we took flexible print circuit boards, which we find in our cell phones or laptops or whatever, and we added conductive glue to the bottom of them such that when you take the sticker, which is a circuit board and stick it down to like a conductive ink or conductive tape, you actually build circuits, but it feels like you're playing with stickers and tape and pens. And that is kind of a creative, crafty way to learn electronics. Technology is very powerful, right? It's a tool, which means it can do wonderful things. It can do scary things. It itself is not bad. However, with the many forces that are at play in the world, I can see people or institutions with means getting control of these technologies and using them in a negative way that perhaps the original inventors didn't imagine or perhaps none of us have ever imagined. What I'm excited about as someone who creates technology and teaches people electronics and programming is that it is extremely powerful and it allows you to take the things that are in your imagination and make them real. As an educator, when I see people learn something new and create something that they might not have imagined they could, it's extremely empowering. And for me, technology is a way to make you see that the impossible is possible and you can make with it.
