Erickson Elías, Jessica Zavaleta, José Sáenz, Francisco Hernández, Cristian García, Rodrigo Trujillo and Juan José Barrera are part of the third group of young Salvadorans selected to represent El Salvador in the Plan B Summer Schoolone of the most recognized educational initiatives of the bitcóin ecosystem. The event will take place from July 19 to 27 in Lugano, Switzerland.

The seven students obtained this opportunity after standing out in the program CUBO+ Econ Generationintensive training led by the National Office of Bitcoin and directed by Stacy Herbert, which trains young people in technology, philosophy and practical applications of Bitcóin.

During their participation, young people demonstrated academic excellence and commitment. Erickson Elías, originally from Ilobasco, was the student with the best world -scale note among more than 300 participants from countries such as China, Switzerland and Argentina. Jessica Zavaleta, systems engineer, stood out for her focus on social inclusion and financial freedom.

The program not only gave them technical knowledge, but also an international network. In Switzerland, students will have the opportunity to interact with ecosystem leaders such as Allen Farrington, Dusan Matuska and Federico have, as well as with key companies and investors, including Tether, which already operates in El Salvador.

For many, this will be the first time they travel abroad. “It is a unique opportunity to share, learn and represent our country with pride,” said Cristian García, creator of an educational initiative called The Satoshi Codex.

Stacy Herbert said that this experience represents more than an academic training: “Seeing our students continue their education in Lugano with some of the brightest minds of the ecosystem is the most valuable of the program. This type of experience will give them a new sense of identity and ambition to build a bold and successful country.”

Salvadoran participation in this event reflects the country’s commitment to technological and financial innovation, and demonstrates that with strategic training it is possible to open doors globally without losing sight of local commitment.
