We will implement educational workshops for high school students to teach them about blockchain technology and Cardano, enhancing their knowledge and engagement in the crypto space.
Our project depends on partnerships with both local and regional schools. These institutions will provide access to students and facilitate the educational workshops. Their involvement is essential for reaching a broader audience across different areas and ensuring that the program is delivered effectively within diverse academic settings.
All the materials we develop—whether educational content, curriculum, or technical resources—will be fully open source. By making everything accessible to the public, we ensure that our resources can be used, adapted, and improved by anyone in the community, further expanding the reach and impact of our initiative.
We perceive the problem as a significant gap in foundational knowledge among young high school students who have entered the crypto space through platforms like tap2earn. These students may lack the necessary understanding of blockchain technology, making it difficult for them to contribute meaningfully to the ecosystem. Our approach focuses on providing tailored educational content that is both accessible and engaging for high school students. We are partnering with both local and regional schools to ensure wide reach and effective delivery.
Our project will engage students, teachers, and school administrators, focusing on interactive workshops and hands-on learning. To prove our impact, we will track key metrics, such as student participation, knowledge improvement through pre- and post-workshop assessments, and the number of students who pursue further education in blockchain technology, particularly Cardano.
The project will have a lasting positive impact by educating the next generation of blockchain enthusiasts and developers, with a strong focus on Cardano. By equipping high school students with the skills and knowledge necessary to understand and participate in blockchain technology, we are fostering future contributors to the Cardano ecosystem. This initiative will not only increase awareness of Cardano but also lay the groundwork for a new wave of developers, users, and advocates who will drive innovation within the Cardano community.
Our team consists of individuals with extensive experience in education and blockchain technology, ensuring we can deliver the project with high levels of trust and accountability. We have already established partnerships with schools and educators in various regions, and we are prepared to execute the workshops as planned.
To validate the feasibility of our approach, we will run pilot programs in selected schools to gauge interest and fine-tune the curriculum based on feedback. Additionally, we will track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as student engagement, knowledge retention, and feedback from educators to ensure that our approach is both effective and scalable.
