TON on Campus: Cornell Tech
TON is coming to campus for an interactive, student-focused session exploring how real applications are being built on TON, and how Telegram fundamentally changes distribution.
This session is designed to be practical, conversational, and hands-on (no coding required). We’ll walk through live TON mini apps, discuss real-world use cases, and explore what it means to build products where users already exist.
This is a closed, campus-focused session for Cornell Tech students.
🍕 Pizza and refreshments will be provided.
