An educational technology initiative · Colombia

Help me build the environment to create what I’m learning.

I’m Nicolás Rodríguez. I’m pursuing a Master’s in Generative AI and Digital Marketing, and I’m looking for a dedicated laptop to turn that knowledge into practical technology projects.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

01 / THE STORY

Why I’m building this.

Education gives me the knowledge. The right development environment helps me turn it into technology.

I’m completing a one-year online Master’s in Generative AI and Digital Marketing at European Business & Digital School. I want to use this period to do more than attend classes: to explore small language models, develop web applications, experiment with AI and build useful automations.

This page is an invitation to support that practical work as it takes shape.

02 / THE CHALLENGE

The missing piece.

I currently use a 2020 MacBook shared with my family. It supports everyday work and study. A dedicated, more capable machine would give me a stable place for development and more demanding experiments.

CURRENT / 01

Shared 2020 MacBook

A useful computer for basic study and everyday tasks, shared across the household.

TARGET / 02

Dedicated AI development environment

A reliable space to learn, prototype, test software and explore AI tools throughout the program.

03 / AREAS OF EXPLORATION

What I want to build.

These are directions for learning and prototyping, not claims about completed products. Select a card to explore the focus.

04 / IDEAL DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

What I’m looking for.

The right device is an enabling tool for the work I want to build. Windows or macOS could provide that environment.

16 GB+RAM minimum
32 GB preferred
512 GB+SSD minimum
1 TB preferred
ModernProcessor and
good thermals
MacOSor Windows
GPUPreferred for local
AI experiments

Reliable battery life and modern connectivity would also help. These are preferences, not strict conditions. A suitable new, refurbished, previous-generation, demonstration or corporate-replacement device could make a meaningful difference. Partial sponsorship or another practical technology solution is welcome too.

05 / THE YEAR AHEAD

A learning roadmap.

A working direction for the one-year program. The pace and projects can evolve with what I learn.

  4. 10–12 / MONTHS

    Integration

    Document work, refine projects, update the portfolio and complete the master’s program.

06 / WHY SUPPORT THIS

A laptop becomes a development environment.

Supporting this project would give me dedicated capacity to work consistently while I study.

01

Study and develop on a dedicated device

02

Experiment with AI tools and local models

03

07 / SPONSOR COLLABORATION

Make the impact visible.

I’m open to documenting the journey and recognizing a sponsor in ways that make sense for both of us. Any recognition would be agreed together.
