Unearthing the Starknet Book "Cairo VM"

Starknet Kampala Meetup
About Event
It has been established that blockchain(web3) has become part of our lives and developers are the major resource in the revolution of blockchain technology. Thanks to the Nakamotos for this great invention and Vitalik and colleagues with the great advancements especially as far as smartcontracts are concerned.
It is now time however for us to embrace quicker and more applicable tools to ensure that we realize full blockchain capacity. Cairo has emerged as one of the languages that offer these tools.

This event will target campus students pursuing technical courses in computer science, software engineering, data science, AI to mention but a few. The youths response in Africa, Uganda inclusive has been overwhelmingly great and there is no better time to tap the potential of this audience in joining the amazing solution capabolitiese offered by cairo lang.

At this starknet meetup, we shall unearth Cairo Vm and its complex mathematical principles that underlie STARKs in creating Validity Proofs for general computational programs. The Cairo VM is intentionally tailored for Validity Proof systems and is not constrained by the limitations imposed by the EVM (Ethereum virtual machine) and this will be the epicenter of our discussion at this event!

This event will also be a source of important information about the different Cairo learning programs and initiatives such as the BlockHeader Web3 academy, an african tech academy which will include Cairo lang in the the 3rd cohort curriculum and more.
