Melbourne, Australia - August 29th, 2022: The Algorand Foundation is delighted to announce the partnership with AlgoHUB to launch a student club community hub for the APAC region including Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Fiji and South Pacific Islands, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. The hub will support students on their blockchain learning journey by connecting student clubs and societies cross-regionally, offering access to exclusive events and awarding top blockchain students with scholarships and prizes. The student club community hub will also support students with case studies, leads on internship opportunities, introductions to projects, and guest speakers from the Algorand Community.
“AlgoHUB will be partnering with the student clubs at top universities in Asia Pacific to run student events and hackathons. We will be providing support and funding to encourage the students to learn more about this emerging technology and to help them build more applications on the Algorand Blockchain.” The student club community hub will also interact with organisations in the APAC region participating in the Algorand Centres of Excellence (ACE) programme. The recipients of the ACE grants were announced in August”.
- Karen Cohen, Founder of the AlgoHUB
“Algorand Foundation is committed to supporting education and particularly student initiatives like the AlgoHUB student community to help create a nurturing environment for the next generation of blockchain natives. We are excited for the educational opportunities that the AlgoHUB student community will create and look forward to seeing innovative ideas and blockchain use cases from the students.”
- Doro Unger-Lee, Head of University Programmes, Algorand Foundation.
