By Stellar Women Bootcamp
A 4-week, gamified educational program designed to onboard Latin women into the DeFi basics, with a focus on Stellar ecosystem.
Who are we? We are Women Biz, a latin community created by women to empower women through web3. We organize events and educational programs to promote Blockchain adoption through web2 to web3 onboarding. With a diverse community with over 1800 members across 16 countries, we have created an environment that promotes education, collaboration, and empowerment within the blockchain industry. These engagements have served as crucibles of learning and interaction, facilitating knowledge exchange and fostering a supportive ecosystem for women navigating the complexities of Web3. Our experience includes organizing over 50 IRL events and hosting over 30 online workshops, providing valuable opportunities for learning and networking. Notable highlights include our successful “Women in Web3” bootcamp, which attracted 190 women participants and received over 400 quest submissions as well as our “Latina Blockchain Hackathon” that produced 21 innovative projects.
What problem do we identify? Today's financial systems are often inaccessible, inefficient, and costly, particularly for individuals and businesses in underserved and developing regions. Traditional financial services can be exclusive, slow, and burdened with high fees. Additionally, according to Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and POCLab gender diversity research results published in 2023, women make up only about 27% of the Web3 workforce, often in non-technical roles. Only 13% of Web3 founding teams include a woman, and only 3% have teams that are exclusively made up of women. This significant gender gap further limits the potential for innovation and inclusion in the blockchain space.
Our solution Recognizing the potential of Stellar to transform financial systems, we propose a DeFi-focused bootcamp to educate and empower individuals to leverage Stellar for decentralized finance applications. The Stellar Women Bootcamp is a 4-week, gamified educational program designed to equip Latin women with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop and utilize decentralized finance solutions on the Stellar network. The bootcamp offers 80 scholarships, and includes live classes, mentoring, and weekly challenges. Participants will learn DeFi fundamentals, interact with Stellar projects and earn rewards through active engagement. The program aims to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 financial knowledge.
