A digital technical hub’s classroom just got cooler thanks to Kool Tech Air Conditioning and Bahamas Best Solutions Technology. Palm Tree Digital Services recently started a classroom style tech hub to assist The Bahamas’ first CryptoChicks Youth Blockchain and AI Hackathon slated for August 23 – 25, 2019.

The new classroom needed an air conditioning unit and when Ian Bethel of Bahamas Best/Bethel’s Electrical heard that this project was to assist a group of youth from the East Street area, he asked Derek Sands of Kool Tech Air Conditioning in Nassau, Bahamas to collaborate. Sands and his wife are super busy this time of the year however, they took the time to learn about the cause and gladly contributed an energy-efficient, high seer inverter Lennox unit. Bethel donated his time and some materials towards the installation.

Other corporate sponsors included Global Sun for the IT infrastructure while Ansbacher and Pictet Bank & Trust Limited donated a few computers. Michael Clare, a blockchain enthusiast has donated his time at Palm Tree to assist the youth. Darius Ferguson, Proprietor of Palm Tree Digital Services said, “I am grateful for the collaborations and the partnerships who are helping expose Bahamians to the digital asset class. It’s a platform where we can get ahead of the world and export our expertise.”

The Bahamas Youth Blockchain and AI Hackathon and Conference is the first of its kind and powered by 3 non-profit organizations: CryptoChicks, HAP – Harness All Possibilities and Rotary Clubs of The Bahamas. For more information visit www.bahamas.cryptochicks.ca.
