Where New Heroes
Rise in New BUIDL City

  • CSU Spur Hydro Building
  • February 15 - 17
  • 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Camp BUIDL is ETHDenver’s intensive Web3 training ground, a 3-day, hands-on learning experience designed to take students from “curious explorer” to “hackathon-ready builder.” Each day blends expert instruction, mini-projects, small-group work time, and guided support so participants leave with the confidence and skills to deploy real on-chain applications at the BUIDLathon.

Camp BUIDL FAQ
Who is Camp BUIDL for?

Camp BUIDL is for anyone who wants to quickly get up to speed with modern Ethereum app development and super charge their skills before participating in ETHDenver’s annual buildathon. It’s perfect if you already know a bit about blockchain but want to learn how things really work, or maybe you’re completely new to anything crypto related but have some familiarity with tech or programming. Whatever your background, Camp BUIDL is for you.

  • Lunch each day
  • Bagels and Coffee in the morning

Every part of the boot camp is opt-in. If you have to miss any particular class you can keep coming to the other classes. However, the course is designed for students to attend each class in order.

Project Based Learning is a methodology that helps learners gain knowledge and skills by actively working on meaningful, real-world projects over an extended period of time. Instead of learning concepts in isolation, students learn by doing.

No, Camp BUIDL is free to everyone and you do not need any crypto or wallets, etc., to participate. Some ETH will be given to you.

Yes.

More details with specific instructions will be emailed to accepted participants and instructors will be available before classes start to help everyone 1-on-1 get setup. If you want to get ahead try these:
