Any more specifics on how to reach out to local universities?

For instance - what types of groups would be interested? What might they be interested in, what would be a good initial offering?

I just published this book Bitcoin, Hands-On: 28 “learn-by-doing” exercises to master the basics of managing your own Bitcoin, including wallets, transactions, and self custody.

I'd love to talk to university students, and walk them through it. But it's not an orange pilling book, it's more of hands-on self custody book.

Wow!! Well the easiest is starting with the university you went to. Clubs are often looking for guest speakers and alumni are great! In terms of Clubs, truly any - everything from the film club (could screen God Bless Bitcoin, for instance) to the cooking club (could talk about fiat's impact outside of money) to policy, business, software clubs, etc. If possible, a great offering is internships or jobs - something skills based. Or, perhaps you could reach out to a local university and find what clubs they have...then, most clubs have their email addresses online. I think it might be hard for your initially meeting to pitch self-custody, given they likely don't know what bitcoin is. Happy to chat more/ be supportive where I can!
