I started an initiative with WebZero and Distractive to bring back livestreaming to the Polkadot ecosystem. The goal is to create a spotlight for builders to showcase their work, and a space for new developers to skill up by acquiring tips and tricks first-hand from real builder journeys.

This initiative was motivated to share best practices and tips for builders joining upcoming hackathons:

El máximo**, sub0 HACK — a 72hr hackathon · Luma :** Nov 14, 10:00 AM - Nov 16, 7:00 PM GMT-3 (in-person/hybrid) 
As part of the pilot, I’ll be giving the spotlight to builders as who can share practical knowledge with participants, such as tips, live coding, demos. Ideally you’ve joined one or two hackathons, bonus if its in-person but that’s not required.
Other notes:
- We’re trying to keep the stream no between 40-60 minutes
- You will be expected to prepare a short plan that I will help you with on a short sync call in preparation
- We will create short video clips to be re-purposed for educational content
- Topics we’re looking for: UI development, Smart Contract Development, experience building a fully functional MVP, Pitching Skills, Choosing Your Teammates, Scoping out an Idea, Tooling etc.
