Francisco “Pacho” Carrero will be our speaker.  He is the Chair of the MOVE Puerto Rico Locale and an active volunteer with the American Red Cross- Puerto Rico Chapter with the Disaster Technology and the Disaster Assessment Teams. 

About five years ago, a passionate group of IEEE volunteers in Puerto Rico embarked on a powerful mission — to become an international extension of the MOVE Program. Their goal? To support disaster relief efforts and ignite a love for STEM through outreach and education.

Since then, MOVE Puerto Rico has grown from an ambitious idea into a resilient and impactful initiative. Along the way, our volunteers have faced challenges, gained invaluable experience, and celebrated countless moments of success.

In this Tech Talk, we’ll take you behind the scenes of our journey — from the early days of planning, through the milestones we’ve achieved, to the exciting road ahead. Whether you're curious about disaster response, passionate about STEM outreach, or simply looking for ways to give back, this session will leave you inspired.
