[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

Problem:

• When learning how to become a Cardano developer and how to build on Cardano, many beginners experience difficulties because they haven't found a clear roadmap or learning pathway, and there isn't much educational content about Cardano development, especially in Indonesia.
• Most developers usually don’t know where to start learning Cardano. There are plenty of courses about web3 and EVM blockchain-based development on platforms like YouTube, Udemy, and educational platforms such as Alchemy. That's why most developers interested in learning about web3 and blockchain focus more on EVM blockchain-based technologies than Cardano. This is because the educational resources for Cardano are not well-known.
• Most developers are usually familiar with EVM blockchain-based development tools such as Solidity, Remix, Truffle, Ganache, Hardhat, Web3.js, Ether.js, etc. Not many developers are aware of Cardano development tools. If this situation continues, the Cardano ecosystem will face difficulties in adoption due to the lack of interest from developers in building DApps on Cardano.

Solution:

• Build a Cardano Developer Community in Indonesia, inviting people from other blockchain communities in Indonesia such as Komunitas Cardano Indonesia and BlockDev.ID. Host online workshops consistently three times a month for one year and then upload all recorded workshop sessions to the Komunitas Cardano Indonesia YouTube channel to provide educational contents about Cardano for developers in Indonesia. Consistency is the key to success in the field of education.
• Delivering material starting from the basics, such as how to use the terminal, package manager, version control system (GIT), basic programming, and web development. Then continuing with Cardano core concepts, Cardano developer tools, and smart contract programming. Additionally, we will introduce Cardano educational platforms for developers such as Cardano Blockchain Certified Associate (CBCA) from Cardano Academy, Plutus Pioneer Program, AtalaPrism Pioneer Program, Gimbalabs PlutusPBL and MeshPBL.
• Introduce Cardano Developer Tools like Demeter, Cardano-cli, BlockfrostAPI, Lucid, MeshJS, Marlowe, Aiken, and other Cardano tools during workshop sessions, and also do live demos and coding. We also give workshop participants the opportunity to contribute, such as creating questions, then discussing and looking for answers or solutions. Apart from that, we also prepare quizzes and coding challenges, for participants who can do it correctly they will get rewards. So that workshop participants have the motivation to try and practice it.

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

This project will bring positive impact in many aspects:

• There is a developer community forum for learning, discussing, and innovating on Cardano in Indonesia.
• There is educational content available for developers and software engineers in Indonesia that is easy to access and free for anyone who wants to learn Cardano.
• The Cardano Developer Community Indonesia and the general public are familiar with educational platforms for developers such as the Cardano Blockchain Certified Associate (CBCA) from Cardano Academy, the Plutus Pioneer Program, the AtalaPrism Pioneer Program, Gimbalabs PlutusPBL, MeshPBL, and other educational platforms not mentioned individually, which are useful for building on Cardano.
• The Cardano Developer Community in Indonesia and the general public are familiar with developer tools on Cardano such as Demeter, Cardano-cli, BlockfrostAPI, Lucid, MeshJS, Marlowe, Aiken, and other tools not mentioned individually, which are useful for building on Cardano.
• Indonesia is a country that has great potential for adopting blockchain technology especially Cardano because this country has several opportunities, being the 4th largest internet user in the world and also the 4th largest owner and user of crypto assets in the world and the most potential is that Indonesia in the state of demographic bonus where many young generations who have been exposed to technology from an early age so that by building a community of Indonesian Cardano developers and hold workshops consistently, it will have a potential to produce digital talents who will become developers to build on Cardano.

This proposal intention:

1. Consistently host 3 workshops a month for 1 year. Proof of our consistency is that even though we failed in fund-11, we continued to host workshops at least once a month. We recently hosted 7 online workshops/meetups for the Cardano Developer Community Indonesia. Here is the link to the recorded videos.
2. Consistently produce a minimum of 36 educational videos from workshop recordings on Komunitas Cardano Indonesia YouTube channel.
3. Through the 36 workshops, we aim to generate a minimum of 10 practitioners and contributors who are willing to dedicate themselves to learning about Cardano.
