Joaquin leads a Spanish-language workshop on how to submit ideas to Stellar's Ideatón competition, emphasizing problem-driven ideation, viability on Stellar, and scalability over technical complexity.
Joaquin conducts an educational session for Latin American builders interested in Stellar's Ideatón (idea competition). He explains the framework for developing strong project submissions: identify real problems that affect you personally, propose solutions using Stellar's payment infrastructure, and demonstrate viability and scalability. Key themes include thinking in terms of specific user personas rather than abstract markets, justifying blockchain use cases, and leveraging tools like Google's Stitch for rapid prototyping. The session covers submission requirements, the importance of personal narrative, and how ideas evolve from ideation to startup. Participants ask about legal considerations, on/off-ramps, and tools for non-technical builders. Organizers announce future hackathons and mini-grants starting in March.
