Blu3 DAO wins BIG at ETH Mexico P.2
The Blu3 Hacks program sponsors talented women, nonbinary people, and allies as builders to launch projects in web3 at events and conferences around the world.
“Vitalik, hermano, ya eres Mexicano!” was heard all across the historic venue Projecto Prim where ETH Mexico was hosted August 19-22 2022.
Projecto Público Prim is a historic space where union, culture and creativity are celebrated and invites the public to share projects that consciously rescue, risk and transcend the Mexican present.
Blu3 LATAM DAO was founded after ETH RIO, when previous scholars and contributors, experienced the need to onboard more Latin women into the web3 ecosystem. Blu3 LATAM was born under Blu3 DAO’s umbrella under the leadership of power house Latinas Randy, Marysol, Natalia & Mariana. With over 400 members stretched across Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Peru and Chile, the DAO aims to continue with its mission to empower women, non-binary and trans people to learn, explore and build their careers in the web3 space to achieve financial freedom.
💖Cultural Experiences
…Continues from ETH Mexico P1.
Why do we incorporate cultural excursions within every Blu3 hackathon experience?
At Blu3 DAO, we believe that Web3 and crypto mass adoption can only be accomplished by solving REAL WORLD problems. As a result, we strive to facilitate local excursions in which our local hackers can share the environments history and challenges while visiting hackers can learn and create deeper bonds with the territory. According to Travel Weekly, “In 2019, ‘Living like a local’ will go up a notch with holiday-makers getting so under the skin of a destination, they consider themselves honorary citizens.
