My name is Marco Pizarro-Silva. The Dream Academy has been an integral part of every fabric of my life and it has inspired me to reach for the stars and has helped me become the person that I am today. I am a fun-loving teenager who is fascinated by innovation and making everything we do as creative and efficient as possible. I love cinematography and photography, and the Dream Academy has allowed me to explore and develop these passions further.
One of my favorite pastimes is coding; my ROV team and I were honored to win second place against colleges and universities in the highest division of the MATE International ROV competition this summer. I am the Software Engineer for the team. I have also coded multiple applications and I’m thrilled to have been a part of Coder Dojo at Hartnell College. This summer, I also had the honor of being selected as a Student Ambassador with our sister city in Japan where I spent two weeks exploring the customs and culture of Japan. I have been blessed in so many ways and my dream is to continue to use my love of technology, theater, and business to bless others who have not had the same opportunities.
