Proposed Solution & Implementation
Understanding the Problem
Despite Cardano’s global growth, East Africa—especially Ethiopia—remains underserved in blockchain education and developer participation. University students interested in Cardano technologies face a lack of structured learning pathways, mentorship, and community support. This creates a gap in local talent development and limits the region’s contribution to the broader Cardano ecosystem.
