The BLOKC community was treated to a rare and exciting face-to-face mentorship session as part of the UNBLOKC Hackathon 2023, featuring two powerhouse mentors from the Philippine blockchain and Web3 space — Myrtle Ramos and Mark Hugh Neri.

Learning from the Best

Participants — affectionately called Blokcmates — had the unique opportunity to receive in-person guidance from two of the most respected names in the industry. These kinds of hands-on mentorship sessions are a cornerstone of the UNBLOKC Hackathon experience, bridging the gap between knowledge and real-world application.

Mentor Myrtle Ramos: Navigating the Philippine Blockchain Market

Mentor Myrtle brought her deep expertise in customizing blockchain solutions for the Philippine market. Her session focused on helping participants understand the local landscape, tackle its unique complexities, and build ventures that are not just technically sound but also contextually relevant. Her insights gave Blokcmates a clearer roadmap for building impactful, market-ready Web3 products in the Philippines.

Mentor Mark Hugh Neri: Prototyping and Smart Contracts

Mentor Neri's session zeroed in on the technical fundamentals that every Web3 builder needs — mastering prototyping techniques and diving deep into smart contract development. Participants walked away with practical knowledge on how to bring their ideas to life through rapid prototyping and leverage the power of smart contracts to automate and secure their decentralized applications.

An Unmissable Opportunity

This face-to-face format made the session especially valuable, allowing Blokcmates to ask questions in real time, engage directly with their mentors, and build meaningful connections within the community. Attendees were encouraged to take notes, stay curious, and make the most of the direct access to industry experts.
