The Tech Club is working to pave the way for blockchain learning, community growth, and groundbreaking advancements in our university. Through hands-on onboarding experiences and peer-led learning spaces, we're making Web3 education both accessible and practical. Our mission is to guide students in Calabar into the decentralized world, creating a supportive environment where they can explore, ask questions, and grow. \nThis work is important because it’s unlocking access to a rapidly growing digital economy—one that young people in places like Calabar might otherwise be left out of.\nWhy it matters:\nBridging the Opportunity Gap: Many students are curious about blockchain and Web3 but don’t know where to start. By offering education and hands-on experiences, you're helping them tap into global opportunities—from remote jobs to entrepreneurship.\n\n\nEmpowering the Next Generation: Instead of just consuming technology, students learn to build, innovate, and lead in the Web3 space. This gives them an opportunity to shift from just being users to creators, contributors, and even innovators in the digital economy.\n\n\nLaying the Groundwork for Innovation in Africa: By nurturing Web3 literacy at the grassroots level, you're planting seeds for future startups, solutions, and movements that could shape Africa’s tech narrative.\nGenerally, the blockchain scene at unical is still growing, but it’s full of potential. While many students have heard about crypto or blockchain, only a small number really understand what it means or how to get involved. This is one of the reasons why borderless tech club unical is important.\nStrategies to Achieve Our Goals\nRaise Awareness & Educate\n\n\nWe’ve started our awareness campaign by hosting beginner-friendly workshops and online sessions in a bid to simplify blockchain concepts.\n\n\nBuild Strategic Partnerships\n\n\nWe plan to collaborate with Web3 communities, student clubs, and companies to bring resources and opportunities.\n\n\nBoost Community Engagement\n\n\nAlso, create mentorship systems, celebrate members' progress, and run challenges and hackathons.\n\nSince our launch in October 2024, we've hosted events and webinars to facilitate onboarding across the web3 space.\n## Physical Meetups & Onboarding Events\nWatch Party for Borderless event - B<>rder/ess 3.0: Byte Onchain \n🔗 https://x.com/UnicalTechClub/status/1858209388303167505\nWeb3 Educational Sessions to teach Web3 and blockchain fundamentals.\n🔗https://x.com/UnicalTechClub/status/1865390924760514740\nOrganized a major meetup at UNICAL, onboarding 40 students \n🔗 https://x.com/UnicalTechClub/status/1866792575056691532\nOur goal for 2025 is to:\n1.
