Translation of the Nomicon site
We are coordinating with teachers from the Instituto Tecnologico de Pabellon de Arteaga, so they can start reviewing all the content and begin the translation process.

Pending to assign a kick off day, but will share it in a separate post.

Onboard two Spanish speaking instructors
We have our first NEAR Certified Instructor, which is @Cristian from the NEAR Hispano Guild and after the bootcamp Blockchain Academy MX will also have their instructor go through the certification process with @amgando :slight_smile:

Playbook for other Guilds to launch the NCD bootcamp in their region
Pending to publish some writings regarding how to replicate what we have done at NEAR Hispano, launching an initial NCD Bootcamp supported by Education @ NEAR and then hosting a bootcamp independently.

We are working with two teachers in Mexico, to help us create the framework for implementing bootcamps in different formats.
