I established tech clubs in 6 universities to teach students building on Arbitrum with Solidity, hosted campus tours, and organized web3 events, fostering community engagement and education.

I've raised developers who build on the Arbitrum ecosystem which meets the 5th goal in the Arbitrum Citizens Round-Specific Eligibility Policies "Community building, devrel, education, etc"

Some of our community-building activities involves setting up web3 Tech Clubs on campuses, to teach them to build on Arbitrum using Solidity.

Here's my impact report.

IMPACT REPORT

  1. I've set up Borderless tech clubs in 6 Universities where University Students are trained to build with Solidity.

  2. The clubs teach non-dev members and dev members on how to interact with Arbitrum Ecosystem, bridge, contribute, do DeFi activities and more.

  3. Take in web2 Dev interns, and teach them about web3 and how they could transition and provide value in the web3 ecosystem.

One of such product of our intern program is Pluto Dev, Favour Ekeleme who is now the Arbitrum Ambassador in the University of Port-Harcourt.

  1. I've also organized campus tours to spread awareness of web3 and how young people can get on board, I visited 11 Universities recently with my team, and here are a few highlights on 3 of those universities.
