The University Tour in Puebla started at BUAP, and we were there for its first day 🇲🇽 With our CriptoUNAM community and UNLOCK, high school and university students spent the day learning how to build on @StellarOrg. The next stop could be your campus.

Startup Day at UCEMA was an afternoon of founders, stands and curious students, and we had our own stand in the middle of it 🇦🇷 With Xplora UCEMA, we helped students take their first steps in blockchain and told them about our Ambassador Program.

At TESH, it was the professors' turn to learn blockchain 🇲🇽 In August, 20 professors in Huixquilucan spent three sessions with us and @Cripto_UNAM learning Web3, Stellar and how to guide a student blockchain club. Are you a professor? We'll help you bring this to your classroom.

The next builders are not in the usual blockchain circles At NovaSür's forum in Buenos Aires we talked about how blockchain already solves real business problems, and more than 100 people came by our stand to learn about our free programs and scholarships.
