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.
