It’s simple but not simple! The excitement was undeniable
Within just two hours, our booth at the “Blockaiverse Unitour” event became a hotspot, drawing in over 300 enthusiastic students!

Organized by Hub Network, with the mission of empowering students, the event offered hands-on experiences with AI and blockchain technologies while sharing real-world startup insights through founder’s stories.
We were honored to be one of the 10 exclusive web3 organizations representing at the event, first held at HUTECH University on November 28th then the next will be at Ton Duc Thang University on December 14th, and more… This opportunity wasn’t just about showcasing our initiatives—it became an inspiring exchange of ideas. While we thought it would ignite curiosity among students, it was their energy and enthusiasm that truly inspired us.
Come to the event, we prepare to challenge students with a series of quizzes designed to test their knowledge of Cardano and basic blockchain knowledge. Our lineup included 15 fun and easy quizzes made from materials from video in our Whiteboard Cardano channel, alongside an advanced quiz derived from the “Cardano Blockchain Certified Asociate” course of Emurgo Academy. This course, part of our Fund 13 Catalyst proposal - [WB_CAR] Cardano Masterclass in Collage Art , is being transformed into an engaging series of whiteboard and collage-style videos, which will be published soon for delivering to students.
Before the event, we were really worried about the turnout. The midday campus was quiet, and despite preparing 2,000 flyers, we managed to distribute only close to 100. However, our worries quickly disappeared once the event began—over 300 students filled the room, and for more than two hours, our booth was surrounded by enjoyable faces. The engagement was incredible, with over 200 students participating in our quizzes, discussing blockchain, and exploring Cardano with us.
Even after our two-hour booth session officially ended, the excitement didn’t stop. The overwhelming response encouraged us to extend some activities online, keeping the buzz alive for students who wanted more.
The event was not only a success in participation but also in building connections.
- We gained 128 new members in our Facebook community, opening doors for further engagement with the Cardano ecosystem in Vietnam and beyond.
- Over 400 students scanned our QR codes before - in - and after the booth session.
- 300 of them earned gifts by completing the quizzes.
However, a technical issue prevented us from launching the advanced quiz on our website during the event, limiting our ability to measure the blockchain knowledge level at HUTECH University. This is a key area we’ll improve for future events. With better preparation, we’re excited to make an even greater impact at Ton Duc Thang University on December 14th and other universities across Vietnam in 2025.
After all, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Hub Network for organizing such a dynamic and well-executed event, perfectly aligned with our 2025 strategy to reach the student market by delivering educational content and academy courses through our video channel.
Our gratitude also goes to HUTECH University for providing the venue and giving us the opportunity to connect with its vibrant student body. To the students who participated with such enthusiasm—you mean the world to us. Your energy and feedback inspire us to continue improving our activities and video content for the future.
A special thanks to @Jimmy_Lee_Vcoincheck and @IlumNguyen from the Vcoincheck team, whose incredible support made videos and quiz activities possible. We are also deeply grateful to Mr @truongcx from C2VN team for their valuable consultation and contributions to developing the hard quiz, even though technical challenges delayed its debut at this event.
Looking Ahead
This event marks the start of our journey into the student community—a vital part of our 2025 action plan.
- Beyond the upcoming event at Ton Duc Thang University on December 14th, we’re planning workshops and meetups at the International University in the Group of Ho Chi Minh City National University in Q2 2025.
- Additionally, we’re collaborating with professors to gain approval for more events at HCM Natural University.
- → Our goal for the first half of 2025 is to expand the student community’s knowledge and interest in Cardano across Ho Chi Minh City, with plans to grow nationally in the latter half of the year.
This initiative will also strengthen our collaboration with Ms. @Hakochan in Vietnamese Cardano meetups by encouraging students to participate. Moreover, we will actively connect them with the broader Cardano community, particularly through Catalyst projects.
Currently, our resources are limited, so we’re focusing on these key initiatives for the first half of 2025. However, we’re open to collaborating with any organization that shares our mission of connecting with university students.
