No experience required, just great ideas! Pitches should be focused on what a blockchain project, use case or application might look like, who it will be used by, and what impact it will have. Pitch participants can apply as a group or be grouped with participants to work together, based on the cateogyr of your pitch that you have selected. Each pitch will be 5-10 minutes long and will be presented by each team in a short speech. The use of PowerPoint slides or other visuals is optional.
Theme of the Pitch: At TechKYouth, we are champions of a bottom-up approach that is truly inclusive; we believe that blockchain adoption in the Cayman Islands must serve all Caymanians, no matter where you are from or what age you are. We ask that all pitches focus on the common theme of community adoption – engaging your own communities in a manner that makes blockchain technology accessible and useful to meet their everyday needs and preferences. We are seeking ideas that focus on the needs of everyday people, and that put Caymanians at the center of blockchain development, and help to increase quality of life, education, understanding, awareness, and use of blockchain technology in Cayman.
