[METADATA] Horizons

Education

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

Current Issues in the Cardano Community !!!

• The blockchain community is rapidly growing, and while Cardano has successfully completed the Chang 1 hard fork, knowledge about Cardano and decentralized governance on Cardano is still not widely disseminated. Many people remain unclear about these concepts, leading to hesitance in participating in governance activities.
• Existing materials on Cardano are often complex and lengthy, making them difficult to access, especially for newcomers or busy individuals.
• The lack of simple, understandable, and interactive learning tools poses a significant barrier, reducing the ability to spread knowledge about Cardano within the community. Without practical and accessible educational methods, many may miss the opportunity to participate in the development and governance of the Cardano ecosystem.

Innovative Solution

We will create a quiz set that allows the community to test their knowledge anytime and anywhere, without needing to spend time relearning the material from scratch.

"Cardano-Governance Quiz: A Challenge on Knowledge of Decentralized Governance, Cardano, and Blockchain"

1. Integrating Gamification:

• The question set will not only focus on knowledge assessment but also simulate real-life scenarios regarding governance on Cardano. Players will assume the roles of decentralized governance members and make strategic decisions through questions.
• Rewards, including tokens and NFTs on Cardano, will be used to incentivize users to achieve high rankings within the Cardano community, fostering continuous learning motivation.

2.Quiz Structure:

In the first phase, we will develop a quiz comprising 300 multiple-choice questions, structured as follows:

• Total Questions: 300, including 150 easy, 90 difficult, and 60 very difficult, with at least 180 (60%) questions related to Cardano.
• Test Levels:
• Quick Test: 10 questions (5 easy, 5 difficult); completion time: 2-5 minutes.
• Average Test: 20 questions (10 easy, 5 difficult, 5 very difficult); completion time: 5-10 minutes.
• Advanced Test: 30 questions (15 easy, 10 difficult, 5 very difficult); completion time: over 10 minutes.
• Quizzes will be randomly generated from the pool of 300 questions, ensuring diverse content for each test. A demo quiz is available for the community at Cardanolibrary.net for practice.

3. Multi-level Experience:

The question system will not only test theoretical knowledge but also immerse players in real-life scenarios related to decentralized governance. For example:

"You are a member of a DAO; what decision would you make when faced with situation XYZ?"

The question set will be divided into three parts:

• Part 1: Basic knowledge of the blockchain and Cardano.
• Part 2: Fundamental knowledge of decentralized governance on Cardano, CIP 1694.
• Part 3: Hypothetical scenarios for decentralized governance.

4. Multi-language and Diverse Audience Support:

• We will develop content in various languages (including English, Vietnamese, and Japanese) to ensure that all members of the Cardano community can participate, regardless of their starting point or knowledge background.
• The question set will be designed for different user groups, ranging from beginners to advanced researchers within the Cardano ecosystem.

5.Enhancing Community Engagement:

• Competitions and mini-games related to the Quiz will be held regularly to promote healthy competition within the community. Members can compete, share knowledge, and receive rewards from the community through voting.
• Rewards will be determined through a community voting mechanism, enhancing interaction and participation.

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Impact on the Community

1. Enhancing Understanding of Decentralized Governance: Users will not only learn passively but also engage in decentralized governance decisions, thereby enhancing their decision-making skills and deepening their understanding of governance mechanisms.
2. Encouraging Community Participation: The use of gamification and real-life scenarios will drive community engagement. Users will not only participate to learn but will also feel excited about this novel interactive experience.
3. Expanding Knowledge of Cardano to Diverse Audiences: Supporting multiple levels and languages will enable many individuals at different stages of their learning journeys to participate and effectively utilize knowledge about Cardano.
4. Promoting Decentralized Governance: Simulating decision-making scenarios in decentralized governance will help users understand and practice governance processes on Cardano. This will lead to stronger community involvement in governance activities and ecosystem development.

Key Metrics to Measure Project Success

1. Number of Test Participants: The number of test takers will be the first measure of success. The more participants, the greater the awareness of the project and knowledge about Cardano.
2. Number of Cardano Knowledge Questions Created: The quantity of Cardano-related questions in the quiz will assess the diversity, informational content, and overall knowledge about Cardano.
3. Test Quality: The quality of the tests will reflect the level of interest and evaluation from participants.
4. Number of Known Development Projects in the Cardano Ecosystem: The quiz will include questions about ecosystem projects. Incentives for community engagement campaigns may include ADA or a token from the Cardano ecosystem chosen by the community.

Our main goals after 5 months.

Goal 1: Increase the effectiveness of Cardano knowledge education for the community.

Tests on multiple levels apply to Cardano literacy courses, reinforcing what people read from our library. This goal is determined by the parameters of the quiz test

• Number of times to do the quiz: 1000 times
• Number of participants to take the test: 100 paxs

Goal 2: Number of interactions with the product

This goal is determined by views, likes, and feedback on social media channels, and community telegram groups through posts related to our products.

• Social networks: 500 interactions.
• Google form: 100 responses.

Goal 3: Number of projects on Cardano that are introduced to the community naturally.

This goal is defined by project token rewards in community incentive campaigns. The most important token type will be chosen by the community through voting.

• Target: 8 projects.

Goal 4: The number of questions in the entire set of questions: The more questions, the more diverse the quiz will be and the more information about Cardano will be transmitted.

• Target: 300 questions.

Goal 5: The number of community incentive campaign

• Target: 8 weekly games and 4 monthly games
