Garden of Eden Representing at Restart Week in Puerto Rico

in #gardenofeden6 years ago

As many of you may or may not be aware, Puerto Rico was hit by 2 hurricanes within a month of each other in September 2017.

Much of the island is STILL without power and clean water, and local morale is obviously suffering because of this reality.

Restart Week West is an epic event running May 11-19 to encourage community building and inspiration for Puerto Rico's future. 


It is a follow up to San Juan's Restart Week held earlier in March of this year, and the Garden of Eden is honored to present and support at this inspiring initiative!

There is A LOT happening this week, tons of energy and sheer genius being put to good use, with wonderful projects unfolding. We're going to share a series of our experiences in Puerto Rico with the Steem blockchain over multiple posts, because it's too much to cover in just one!

We're witnessing crypto moving into a devastated space to offer meaningful options to upgrade existence. We're witnessing sharp and effective minds applying their massive brain power and tech skills to consider solutions for the community. We're witnessing exciting conversations about the unfolding potential. We're witnessing the youth take interest in how to improve their land and their people. 

It's a VERY exciting time to be alive, and it's a VERY exciting vortex to witness! 



Restart Week West started off with a fantastic Hackathon hosted in the beautiful University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez campus. Students from all over the island converged to learn about and create with blockchain technology.

The 24 hour hackathon brought together teams in friendly competition to design the best apps for social impact and empowerment. 




There was a respectable ratio of female participation - great to see a lot of ladies representing!

The hackathon was hosted by EduBlock, who's mission is to educate and develop specialized talent that allows students to participate and contribute to the development of blockchain solutions. It is an honorable intitiative to empower students with the tools of blockchain, AI, and open data. 

@quinneaker introduced the students to Steem in an informative presentation, and he also served on the judge's panel.

At the end of the 24 hours, each team presented their design to a panel of judges. Brock Pierce made a special appearance to observe the ideas! 

In the end, EduBlock graciously awarded all participants. One student even won a 3 month immersive training camp experience to learn more about blockchain tech!

We were honored to sponsor this great and inspiring event to encourage the youth to THINK and CREATE tech solutions to the problems they observe! It's awesome to see so many people focused on building a better world for ALL! 



We have TONS more photos to share! Stay tuned for much more from the Puerto Rico vortex!
