Please describe your proposed solution.
The people that understand the economic and cultural infrastructure of Latam the best are Latin Americans themselves. These people have unique insight when it comes to determining how best to bring Cardano to their communities. Educating them on the tech, connecting them with fellow crypto enthusiasts, and thereafter bringing them into the fold of project catalyst allows us access to this valuable insight. Our teams goal is to continue educating rural students on blockchain technology, onboard them onto our discord to network with other local crypto enthusiasts and foster collaboration to submit project catalyst proposals that will benefit their community
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
The goal is of this challenge is to increase exposure of students and their ideas thus allowing for more funding opportunity and scouting opportunities for these students. Since most student entrepreneurs are suffering from resource shortages, especially in rural communities, our team plans on providing these students with high quality resources and onboarding them to our team as well as the cardano community. Since language can be a huge barrier to students our team will use our multilingual resources to increase the exposure of their ideas thus they can expect easier funding in future catalyst funds.
