Polkadot Workshop @ UPR Mayaguez

I wanted to share that I had the opportunity to run a Rust, Blockchain, and Polkadot workshop at the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez.

I briefly wrote about it here: https://www.shawntabrizi.com/services/2023/12/08/polkadot-workshop-upr-mayaguez/

The workshop content in full can be found here: https://www.shawntabrizi.com/rust-and-polkadot-workshop/#/

I think it was a great workshop to bring to university students who were new to all of Rust, Blockchain and Polkadot. We had people create not only their first Rust projects, but also their first blockchains with Substrate.

Unfortunately, due to timing constraints (holiday season mostly), we had to host the workshop the weekend before finals, which obviously affected turnout. That being said, this will def not be the last time we try this.

A workshop about Rust, Blockchain, and Polkadot was held at the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez.
The workshop was for students who were new to these topics.
Participants learned to create their first Rust projects and blockchains using Substrate.
The workshop took place the weekend before finals, which affected how many students could attend.
The organizers are planning to hold this workshop again in the future.
