💡My Question🌱
"How do we create innovative thinkers?"
This is the question I am pondering this week. After my conversation with Jahannie regarding innovation, education and technology in Puerto Rico I started pondering how do we build the innovators of the future!
This is the question I am pondering this week.
💡My Watch🌱
This week I have been watching The European Blockchain Conference.
The EBC Virtual is a comprehensive one-week event filled with inspiring keynotes, panel discussions, workshops, one-to-one meetings and high-level networking.
💡My Reads🌱
I have been reading a few things this week.
How dApps differ from traditional Apps.
"Decentralized applications, also known as dApps, are a new type of software application, or you can say they are digital applications that, instead of running on a single computer, run on a peer-to-peer blockchain network. " You can get it here.
Did you know there were: The New Seven Wonders of the World ? They include places like Colombia and this one in Sri Lanka.
"An ancient palace hewed into an ethereal rock mound at the behest of King Kashyapa in the fifth century A.D., Sigiriya is the perfect amalgam of human-made treasure and natural wonder. Nicknamed Lion Rock—a reference to the paws sculpted into the base of the 660-foot-tall stone—it includes elaborate cisterns and gardens, frescoed caves, and a winding stairway to the crowning citadel."
💡My Meanderings🌱
I will be attending Africa Blockchain Week in Morocco (virtually of course)!
