At Space4Build, a developer-focused community, we’re launching CodeanDOT, a virtual bootcamp in Spanish created for women and centered on the Polkadot ecosystem.
We’ve noticed the low participation of women developers in the ecosystem, along with the lack of technical content in Spanish. That’s why we designed this online bootcamp to promote deeper knowledge of Polkadot among communities of women in tech. We believe everyone can find their place in Polkadot — and that women can thrive and stand out for their talent.
CodeanDOT consists of 4 sessions, blending theory and practice so participants can experiment with available tools, including
