Detailed Explanation of Event (please include links, if applicable):
This proposed viewing party for the Zcon3 will take place from the 7th to 9th of August, 2022 to join the rest of the Zcash ecosystem for the biggest event of the year.
This event targets, Blockchain Enthusiasts, Software Developers especially those with interest in blockchain, Government Policy makers, Technical writers, University students, Tech community leaders, Designers & Researchers in blockchain with aim of invoking blockchain based ideas, more on Zcash in order to build a vibrant community and ecosystem around the Zcash protocol in the region of Africa.
As this years theme states, “Code Alone Doesn’t Cut It", we hope to ideate community driven solutions to the major challenges faced in the region to get everyone(Not only engineers and researchers) involved. some of the major focus areas in the indigenous African society conform with the SDG’s most especially Goal2; Zero hunger bearing in mind that Uganda harbours a big number of refugees with numbers soaring due to the current turmoil in neighbouring DR Congo, Goal9; industry, Innovation and infrastructure, and Goal13; Climate Action which affects us all among others.
Through this, community members will invoke ideas that will drive blockchain, in particular Zcash to adoption;- the only way to organic growth.
If approved, we shall advertise this at the Blockchain Club of Uganda Meet Group https://www.meetup.com/blockchain-club-of-uganda/, social media and the legacy media(News papers, TV & radio stations).
