Gabe Salgado, Producer
Gabe’s experience as a motion graphics editor, web designer, and educator are as vast and limitless as the virtual worlds he has worked so hard to make a reality. He is the creator of several acclaimed multimedia educational programs, including “The Sticker Song Curriculum”—the first Jewish curriculum to go viral. He has also continued to strengthen his database of knowledge by completing the prestigious Tikea Fellowship, the highly selective ROI 120 program for young Jewish innovators worldwide, and most recently, a weekend marathon of ‘Freaks and Geeks’. He has been involved in virtual world technology since 2007 and has also developed many highly acclaimed programs on the Second Life Teen Grid, reaching hundreds of students in dozens of schools around the world. Although his background is multi-faceted, he has kept a single vision which has remained the same: to bring technology and education together in a way that opens up boundless opportunities for those that would otherwise remain outside of the know.
