​👋 Hello Students & Future Builders!

​Join us for a one-day, in-person workshop in Ho Chi Minh City, designed specifically for university students seeking a clear and structured introduction to Web3 and blockchain technology.

​This workshop focuses on first principles — why Web3 exists, what problems it tries to solve, and how blockchain systems work — without requiring prior Web3 or coding experience.

​What Will Be Covered

• ​Web3 philosophy: decentralization, trust minimization, and user ownership

• ​Blockchain basics: blocks, transactions, smart contracts, and decentralized systems

• ​Web2 vs Web3: what actually changes

• ​Real-world use cases and design tradeoffs

• ​Beginner-friendly talks and visual explanations

• ​Interactive discussions and live Q&A

• ​No live coding required

​⚠️ No prior blockchain or programming experience needed.

​🚀 Why This Workshop Matters

​This session also serves as a soft introduction and preparation for the Polkadot Hub Hackathon happening in February 2026.

​While this workshop is not technical training or a code camp, it will help you:

• ​Understand the core ideas behind modern blockchain ecosystems

• ​Decide whether you want to participate in the upcoming hackathon
