NEXUS PROGRAM
Student Chapters
Evolving Space aims to create a network of student-led communities across multiple universities that will engage in activities such as seminars, workshops, hackathons, projects and more via Web3 or other emerging technologies. These student chapters provide a platform for students to develop their skills, explore their interests, and connect with like-minded individuals, enhance their academic and professional development and gain the practical skills necessary to make a positive impact in their respective fields. This initiative is about structuring a talent pipeline of future thought and tech leaders for Puerto Rico.

A few things to know...
We're living in the early stages of what most people imagine as
THE FUTURE OF THE INTERNET.
Here are a few common questions with answers to give you some perspective.
Think of Web3 as the next frontier of the internet, it's like a new layer of applications where data and assets are decentralized, transparent and secured. It runs on distributed ledger technology (DLT), which enables users to interact with each other directly unlike most Web2 services which require some email sign-in, identification or authorization.
Picture a giant Lego tower, made up of thousands of individual blocks stacked on top of each other. Blockchain is like a digital version of that tower, where each block contains a piece of information that's linked to the blocks before and after it. That creates a super-secure and tamper-proof chain of information that can't be easily altered or destroyed. It's what makes cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin possible, and it's also being used to revolutionize everything from voting to supply chain management. Blockchain technologies operate through digital cryptographic keys that are automatically assigned to each digital wallet, transaction or asset, hence eliminating the need for intermediaries like banks, social media platforms or other gatekeepers.
You can think of each cryptocurrency project as a unique digital investment framework with its own set of rules and clues on how to unlock more coins. Some coins are easier to acquire than others, and the rewards can vary greatly depending on their use-case, the team behind it and how many people are invested in the problem-solving idea it represents. Moreover, Cryptocurrencies are like a treasure hunt with many phases and a LOT of competition. Do your Own Research when it comes to Crypto because as there are great opportunities, there's also room for bad actors.
Web3 and blockchain technologies will eventually integrate with a multitude of other innovative technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, and Cloud Computing, to create a seamless and decentralized ecosystem that facilitates secure and transparent value exchange, data management, and digital identity.
THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE! For a better future to happen at the right pace, there should be a devoted network of capable and passionate individuals that can support the development of these emerging technologies and help facilitate all the benefits they can enable.
