The Celo Colombia DeFi Bootcamp is a focused, high-impact online learning experience designed to transition junior Web2 developers from Colombia into active Celo ecosystem builders. This regional focus is supported by the Celo Colombia community and leverages the COP stablecoin for incentives, rewards, and in-course transactions. The program is designed specifically for university students, bootcamp grads, and early-career engineers.

Provide a successful and stimulating learning experience that helps LATAM developers launch their first public Web3 projects, connect with the Celo ecosystem, and unlock future opportunities like grants, jobs, or peer mentoring roles.

Many talented junior developers in Colombia lack structured, accessible entry points into the Web3 ecosystem. Existing resources are often too advanced, too fragmented, or not regionally relevant. This creates a gap between technical potential and real participation in Celo on-chain projects such as Proof Of Ship

An online bootcamp built from scratch and tailored to LATAM learners, using GitHub-first workflows and local incentives (cCOP), to guide React/TypeScript devs through building and shipping small, real-world DeFi apps on Celo.
Each class is structured as a standalone mini-project, offering hands-on experience and tangible outputs. The entire learning journey is tracked and submitted step-by-step via Karma GAP, onboarding students into Proof of Ship from the start. This creates a public record of progress, fosters accountability, and prepares participants for future grants or ecosystem opportunities.
