The Farcaster Builder Bootcamp
⚠️ Update (Sept 1, 2025):
We have decided to pivot the Farcaster Builder Bootcamp into the We Them Media: Content Creator Bootcamp (MVP).
Instead of building new apps, this new structure centers creators as the drivers of adoption — experimenting with mini-apps, telling stories, and amplifying culture.
👉 The new start date is TBD (timeline will be shared by the end of September).
In the meantime, we’re putting our energy into internal restructuring and covering ETH Safari & ETH Accra over the next 20 days.
Thank you to everyone who registered, volunteered, and partnered with us for the Builder Bootcamp. Your energy and support remain central to this new direction. This isn’t a cancellation — it’s a realignment. 💜
4 weeks. 100+ builders. 20+ mini-apps. African creativity meets Farcaster innovation.
