We're excited to share the latest updates and milestones from Ethereum Bolivia's recent activities:

Over the past months, we've been actively engaged in organizing monthly talks across two cities, covering a wide range of topics relevant to the blockchain ecosystem. From discussions on the importance of programming skills to practical introductions to zkRollups and Scroll, we've remained dedicated to providing informative and educational content to our community.

Despite encountering challenges, such as the lack of accessible venues for our educational activities in both La Paz and Santa Cruz, we've taken proactive steps to address these obstacles.

In La Paz, we've forged an alliance with the Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, one of the largest universities in the country, to utilize designated spaces provided by the Computer Science Department. This partnership enables us to deliver free educational content to their students and our community.

Similarly, in Santa Cruz, we're finalizing an interinstitutional agreement with the Universidad Privada del Valle as part of our preparations for the Ethereum Bolivia 2024 Buildathon event. This agreement allows us to organize complimentary educational events in designated spaces for students of the university.

These partnerships not only grant us access to a wider audience but also engage significant educational stakeholders in the country, fostering a broader movement towards blockchain application and solutions development.

Additionally, we've recently transitioned our educational approach to a more practical and hands-on format. By creating vibrant and interactive learning environments, participants can now engage directly with blockchain tools and technologies, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. This shift aims to inspire curiosity and empower individuals to explore the blockchain ecosystem beyond our events.

In April, we initiated practical workshops in collaboration with the Universidad Mayor de San Andrés in La Paz and hosted a workshop in Santa Cruz on Public Goods and Opportunities in Web3, led by Nouns Amigos. These workshops have garnered enthusiastic participation, with newcomers expressing eagerness to delve deeper into blockchain technology and practical tools.
Looking ahead, we're gearing up for the next phase of our initiative: professional training in Solidity programming and project ideation, culminating in the second edition of our blockchain buildathon, "Ethereum Bolivia 2024."

With each new milestone, we're energized by the enthusiasm and dedication of our community. Together, we're forging a brighter future powered by blockchain technology and collective innovation!
