This event was amazing! As a collaborator and Instructor of this event I can say that all the participants learn a lot about blockchain and web 3, and principally about NEAR and how to build a smart contract, how to build a DApp, I think we can make this bigger than this event with more participants, a bigger space and keep building all the ideas that begins in these days but we can maintain the development of this projects.
