The Zuafrique Builder Program is an intensive and curated two-week experience designed for operators, builders, and enthusiasts focused on Ethereum and Layer 2 technologies in Africa.

This premier edition is scheduled for the third quarter of 2024 and will be held in Accra, Ghana. We picked this strategic location with the aim of attracting talent from all over Africa. The program will combine technical workshops, hackathons, panel sessions, and knowledge sharing to provide a collaborative environment where participants can prototype and push the boundaries of Ethereum-focused technology.

Program Objectives:

Foster Collaboration: The Zuafrique Builder Program aims to bring together brilliant minds from across Africa to collaborate on Ethereum-based projects. By creating an environment that encourages teamwork and knowledge exchange, we aim to facilitate the development of impactful products and solutions.

Skill Development: Through a series of technical workshops, participants will have the opportunity to enhance their skills in Ethereum and Layer 2 technologies. The program will cover a range of topics, including zero-knowledge proofs, artificial intelligence, smart contract development, decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized applications (dApps), and scaling solutions. Experienced industry professionals will lead these workshops, providing in-depth insights and practical guidance.

Hackathons: The program will feature engaging hackathons where participants can apply their newly acquired knowledge and skills to build prototypes and innovative solutions. These hackathons will encourage participants to think creatively, collaborate, and experiment with Ethereum technologies. Prizes, mentorship, and networking opportunities will be provided to encourage participants to push their limits and create impactful projects.

Panel Sessions: Panel sessions will be organized to facilitate discussions on the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in Ethereum and Layer 2 technologies. Esteemed industry experts and thought leaders will share their insights and experiences, providing valuable guidance to participants. Panel sessions will cover a wide range of topics, such as decentralized finance, gaming, NFTs, and more.

Networking and Partnerships: The Zuafrique Builder Program will provide ample networking opportunities for participants to connect with industry professionals, potential partners, and other teams. These connections will help foster collaborations, mentorship opportunities, and potential partnerships for future projects. We aim to build a strong community of Ethereum builders in Africa, supporting each other's growth and success.

We are confident that this is a unique opportunity for Ethereum builders in Africa to participate in an intensive, curated experience. We believe that by providing the necessary support, knowledge sharing, and networking opportunities, we can empower builders to push the boundaries of Ethereum technology and contribute to the growth of the ecosystem in Africa.
