To achieve this, we will experiment with a mix of tickets and sponsorships from aligned organizations. For inclusion, we expect to provide scholarships for new talent.\n\n### Long-Term Impact\n\n- **Follow-ups:** Conducting surveys with members to track their professional growth and continued contribution to the field.\n- **Industry Influence:** Assessing the influence of our alumni on the broader AIxCrypto and ZKML communities through publications, talks, and thought leadership.\n\n### Long-Term Economic and Social Enhancement\n\nThe project's presence promises to yield lasting benefits, including increased tech tourism and business opportunities, thereby contributing significantly to the town's economic and social development.\n\n### Local Crypto Adoption\n\nBuilder Monastery aims to help with the ongoing transformation of the host town into a hub for digital literacy and crypto adoption.

Drawing inspiration from Zuzalu's community ethos, the concept quickly gained traction. Having a place for deep work, counterbalancing the novelty that crosspollination brought with each Zuzalu weekly theme.\n\n## Core Team Formation\n\nFranco Petrazzini and Mar\u00eda Elena Provensal, and [TBD], formed the nucleus of the project. This team brought together diverse skills in technology, community building, and event organization, setting the foundation for the Monastery's development.\n\n# Initial Milestones\n\n## Location Scouting\n\nA significant early milestone was identifying the perfect remote location in the Argentinean mountains, ideal for deep work and collaboration. Along with the location we got a local partner who has extensive experience with event organization, helping to make sure every attendee feels at home. We\u2019ve got cabins next to a hotel, the best of both worlds!\n\n## Initial Outreach\n\nMany AIxCrypto and ZKML teams have been contacted on an individual basis, and the response has been great. We are certain some super bright and humble folks will join us.\n\n## Community Engagement\n\nEarly discussions with the Zuzalu community and partners like The Mu Community have been encouraging, with positive feedback and expressions of interest. This engagement is crucial in shaping the program and ensuring it resonates with the community's needs.\n\n## Program Design\n\nThe team has outlined a preliminary structure for the six-week program, focusing on collaborative innovation, and mentorship. This design phase has involved extensive consultation with experts and community members to ensure the program's relevance and impact. Shoutout to Sun, Chance, Alexis, The Ethernaut, Alexis, and Timour.\n\n# Looking Ahead\n\n## Securing Sponsorships\n\nThe next stage involves securing sponsorships and finalizing the funding model. This is crucial for ensuring the sustainability and accessibility of the program.\n\n## Outreach and Applications\n\nWe are preparing to launch a widespread outreach campaign to attract a diverse group of participants, with a particular focus on bringing in new talent and fostering a family-friendly environment.\n\n## Program Launch\n\nThe anticipated program launch date is April 7th, beginning an intensive and transformative journey for all involved.
