Jacobo Vilella

Activist for computer science pedagogy and passionate for technology. My first steps in education began by accident when I was just 20 years old. In the decades since I have learned that teaching is always bidirectional, and is the most outgiving and world-impacting activity we can exercice as a species. In such, I have been blessed with teaching all this years at Aula Escola Europea, one of the top ranked schools in Spain, where I am also appointed as CIO.

Through my career as a pedagog I have taught computer programming in Pascal, C++, Python and JavaScript, robotics and computer networks. For meany years now I have been leading the national Spanish Olympiad in Informatics (OIE), democratizing world-class programming opportunities for the spanish K-12 students.

Consistently, whenever I have time I practice one of my main hobbies: developing web app projects (backends in PHP or NodeJS) be it as a freelancer, entrepreneur or open source contributor, having reached millions of users through them.
