The Puerto Rico Blockchain Trade Association announced an official education partnership with the Blockchain Education Network (BEN).
The partnership will accelerate blockchain education in Puerto Rico, and offer anyone interested in learning about decentralization, cryptocurrency, and related topics remote and in-person courses from expert educators and local entrepreneurs. Course material is completely free and will be offered in both Spanish and English.
