BEN Fall: Free Student Tickets to ETHBoston, Coinvention, and SF Blockchain Week

Hello Generation Blockchain!

Summer is over 😭

Don't worry, we are going to have a lot of fun this fall! School is back in session and blockchain is buzzing on campuses. Just look at Coinbase's new report on blockchain in schools - "56 percent of the world’s top 50 universities now offer at least one course on crypto or blockchain".

Congratulations to all the BEN Chapters who made Coinbase's list! 🎉

Anyways, we have THREE new conference partnerships for September/October - ETHBoston, Coinvention in Philadelphia, and San Francisco Blockchain Week. 👇 Scroll down for details, discounted BEN community tickets, and FREE BEN student tickets.

Additionally, we also have TWO new activities available on our site - Learn how to build your own private network on Algorand AND learn how to launch a smart contract on Bytom. Students who complete these activities become eligible to win prizes including badges, free conference tickets, and more! Check it out!

We had an eventful summer! For the fall we are planning many upcoming online sessions with our students, professors, and club leaders on everything from how to teach blockchain to how to throw blockchain events to deep discussions about blockchain in different industries. Join BEN to keep up with all of our opportunities!

Best,
The BEN Team
