Juli Caputo studied Audiovisual Engineering at Universidad Católica del Uruguay (UCU), where she became a fellow in 2017 as the first cohort at UCU. Shortly after that, she became part of the university's I&E Center where she was in charge of the coordination coordinated and execution of executed awareness and training activities and , like workshops on I&E, with university and pre-university students. She also started returned to her university to teachstarted teaching innovation classes for business, law and educational recreation students. As a professor, It was during her time there that she became Faculty Champion helping 4 cohorts and 20 students become change agents.
In 2018 and 2019 she was part of the organizing team of helped organize "LOOP: Semana de la Innovación (Innovation Week)", along with a group of students. This event was a week-long hackathon to tackle different challenges on social issues among the community, and also the very first two UIF Regional Meetups in Latin America.
In 2021 , she started working with a gender equality company as a photographer, designer and facilitator, to develop strategies for closing the gender gap in the work-field.
<br />
As everything must come to an end, and beyond despite all her fears, in October 2022 she dropped everything to pursue her dream of traveling the world and boarded on a three months trip around Europe (the first of many more). So if you are delaying your dreams because you are afraid, this is your sign to do it anyway (because if somehow you've found this wiki and also read this far, this is definitely a sign for you).
<br />
Back at in Uruguay in present day (2023), she is currently back to teaching innovation and project design at UCU, and . She is also teaching robotics as part of an ONG a NGO at a juvenile detention center (INISA, National Institute of Adolescent Social Inclusion) and to kids in foster care and vulnerability vulnerable situations (INAU, Institute for Children and Adolescents of Uruguay). On top of that, while also being she's a part of a couple of volunteer projects (and of course planning the her next trip).
<br />
For the last several years , she has been working as a volunteer in the social project Cerrando Brechas (Closing Gaps) as part of the general coordination, logistics and didactics teams. This community project consists of a recreational week for kids and teens who in summer, due to their socioeconomic situation, cannot enjoy the vacations that others can., sharing By coordinating games and workshops for more than 150 kids, seeking Cerrando Brechas seeks to transmit values and offer a space for them to have fun and develop their skills.
She es is also part of the project Ver el Mar (See the Sea) that brings kids in from the inland countryside of the countryUruguay, that who do not have the resources to travel out of their area, to get to know experience the sea and the beach for the first time while also . While they're visiting Montevideo, the capital of the country, and experiencing they also experience a lot of new things that may seem common to us but are astonishing for them (, like going to the cinema or using an elevator. (So do not take your reality as a regular experience, and find the find  astonishment in the regular things).
<br />
Last but not least, she had the amazing and transforming transformational opportunity to be a FAB at the 2022 and 2023 Meetups while meeting where she got to meet the most incredible people (and friends).
<br />
If you've read all that, and are thinking ''"Wow, so many cool things! I can never do all of that"'' let me tell you, I'm thinking the same. And I'm impressed with myself while writing this. So a lil tip for you: do the exercise of telling your own story, write your wiki as you feel it, with your feelings of achievement and find and embrace all the coolness in you.
