Accelerating young people's knowledge of technology and financial literacy while building leaders, innovators, and creators for a decentralized future.\n\nAt the end of the event, all the participants will be guided to set up a Arbitrum wallet address. Funds raised for this initiative will be sent to the wallet address of each participant for their transportation for coming and going for the event. This initiative will also send funds to any needy students to help sponsor their education in Nigeria.
