Announcing CUBO+ an educational program for devs in El Salvador

In October of 2022, El Salvador opened its first Bitcoin Embassy in Lugano, Switzerland Just four months later, we have some big results from this relationship to share with you: CUBO+ This is a first of its kind Bitcoin and Lightning dev training program in El Salvador 🇸🇻

CUBO+ is an advanced bitcoin engineering program lasting several months and offering credit as well as placement for those who qualify for the inaugural Plan B fellowship The program will be fully funded by companies out of Lugano, including @Tether_to and @FulgurVentures.

The Plan B fellowship will provide the opportunity for El Salvador’s best and brightest computer science students to be trained by the biggest names in bitcoin from around the world The bitcoiners who will participate as lecturers and mentors will be announced soon.

The aim is excellence. And nothing less. CUBO+ was inspired by the success of President Bukele's CUBO project to create the greatness that we want to see for El Salvador. Bitcoin is for everyone. And we will prove that. 🇸🇻🚀

Within a few years, we believe that #ElSalvador will become the global outsourcing hub for open source, peer to peer, Bitcoin & Lightning start ups The greatest rebrand in history has delivered us with this opportunity to prove that we are not, in fact, too small to be big.

For the inaugural class of 2023, the CUBO+ project will work with the University of Don Bosco in Soyapango, an area recently liberated from gang control We intend to expand the program in the coming years to include other universities and high schools throughout El Salvador.
