Alexander León Torres
2024 winner, SIGNEDGE team
I am a student of Mechatronic Engineering at the Peruvian University of Applied Sciences (UPC). From a young age, I have been driven by a deep passion for automation, robotics, and technology—fields in which I have excelled through my participation in various competitions and scientific events, where I have had the opportunity to share my knowledge and experiences with experts and peers from around the world.
My mission extends beyond academia, as it is also accompanied by a strong social commitment. As a leader of a team that travels to the most remote areas of Peru, I strive to bring STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) to young people who often do not have access to these opportunities. For me, education is the key to breaking barriers and changing people's destinies. My work aims not only to inform but also to inspire others to see education as a powerful tool to build a better future.
In addition to my studies and volunteer work, I have had the opportunity to apply my knowledge in the development of innovative projects. One example of this is the SignEdge project, an application currently under development, aimed at teaching sign language and promoting the inclusion of the deaf community. My skills in programming and technology are crucial to the development of this project, and I am excited about the potential impact it will have on the lives of many people.
In my free time, I enjoy programming, 3D design, creating innovative technological solutions, and continuous learning. I firmly believe that engineering and technology not only have the power to transform the world but to do so in an inclusive and accessible way for all. My purpose is to continue developing projects that not only solve technical problems but also contribute to people's well-being by creating solutions that touch lives and make a difference in society.
My life and career are guided by the desire to use knowledge and innovation to make this world a fairer, more equitable place, full of opportunities for everyone.
