As the Pioneering Tech community under the Borderless Dev Hub, B<>der/ess Tech Club at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, has set the pace in its university community regarding web3 education, onboarding, collaborations, meetings, and community growth.
The community's inception began after the B<>der/ess 2.0 with the theme. Becoming solutions. The then-watch party evolved into a tech club after the event and has gone on to cultivate developers, writers, and designers. We recently acquired our product house, which we hope to utilise for more onboarding and training, and serve as a hub for further tech innovations and startups. Over time, we have established community partnerships with notable organisations, including Secret Africa, Archway Nigeria, GDSC UNN, GIDA, Greenpill Nigeria, Light Bearers Community, CEDR UNN, Cryptosmarts, Lisk, Switch Electric, Metering Protocol, and Sofe Group, among others.
We are on a mission to reduce the knowledge gap that is very evident in the tech ecosystem in our region, as well as collaborate with other communities and projects to bring as many youths on-chain as organically possible. We also hope to be the beacon for tech-centric growth and innovations using our product house.

There are no spaces equipped with resources to give students the necessary environments needed to thrive and grow.
We are solving this issue by establishing a physical hub in one of the largest Universities in South-Eastern Nigeria, which we would use in;
