Welcome! We're a small group of intersectional technologists & organizers responding to our community's interest in accessible & unbiased education about the world of crypto and the opportunities it might present.

This workshop is meant to be an entry point into crypto & an overview of people & projects leveraging crypto technology to improve Oakland.

During this workshop, we will:

• Demystify lingo & industry jargon
• Present the social and political context behind the crypto "movement"
• Explain the different things that people are doing with crypto
• Set up your own crypto wallet, and walk through different ways you can use it
• Highlight key people, projects, and organizations currently leveraging crypto to make Oakland better
• Leave you with a better understanding of what crypto could do for you, and the confidence to continue learning alongside a community of like-minded people repping the town

Tentative Agenda:

• 6:00 PM - Doors open
• 6:15 PM - Presentation
• 7:30 PM - Social hour - drinks, snacks, & vibes included :)
• 8:00 PM - Doors close

Notes:

• We are prioritizing Oakland residents for this in-person event. We'll have an online version for folks outside of Oakland eventually!
• This will be the first time we'll be hosting this event, but not the last - if you're on the waitlist you'll be the first to hear about our next event!
