TL;DR:

Free workshops in six Brazilian cities aiming to educate on ENS and onboard developers from major universities in Brazil.

Description

After organizing a workshop on ENS in Rio de Janeiro, with the support of the ENS DAO, We were able to test and experience the feasibility model of this workshop, as well as gain a better understanding of the strong interest in web3 within the Brazilian community. The workshop reached maximum registration capacity and featured refreshments and beverages.

After that, we aim to conduct workshops on ENS and its ecosystem in the major tech universities in Brazil to onboard developers, and produce content to document these learning moments. The university environment in Brazil is quite open to new technologies, presenting a significant opportunity to onboard a large number of these students.

The workshop will also invite young people from underprivileged areas to increase their access to technology and gain a better understanding of ENS, and its ecosystem.

Our mission

Our initiative aims to tap into the exceptional talent within Brazil's top universities, known for their outstanding technology programs. Brazil stands as a thriving ecosystem rich in opportunities in the world of web3 technologies, with a diverse community of innovators and entrepreneurs.

By engaging with this diverse talent pool, our workshops not only aim to bring on board top-tier developers but also serve as a pathway to future collaborations and partnerships for ENS. Through connecting with Brazil's academic community, we are laying the groundwork for long-term collaborations and advancements in the web3 landscape.

Fostering understanding of Ethereum, ENS, and its ecosystem

Partnering with Blockful, an Official Service Provider of ENS, ensures high-quality instruction and support, driving our vision of a more inclusive and empowered future through blockchain education.

Where?

São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Florianópolis, Brasília and Curitiba.

Workshop planning

The purpose of the workshop is for us to deploy an ENS Resolver contract with some personal information, create an ENS domain, and then utilize this deployed contract with the ENS frontend interface.
