Who you’re targeting, how you’ll reach them, and why this matters for Cardano.

This Interactive lessons platform enforces Cardano’s adoption by onboarding many grassroot users, especially in underserved African regions like Ghana & Kenya, via engaging, gamified education.

It bridges the knowledge gap observed at my meetups, empowering beginners to join Cardano’s ecosystem.

By training educators and scaling globally, it fosters decentralization and inclusion, aligning with Cardano’s mission for global impact.

Provide a list of key activities of your project?

• Draft and publish animated lesson scripts, quizzes, and glossary from Cardano meetup feedback
• Develop and test interactive learning platform with local users in Africa
• Launch platform with full lessons, quizzes, and glossary
• Train educators across Ghana and other African regions
• Publish progress, completion, and close-out reports
• Share final video showcasing engagement on Cardano Forum, X, and YouTube

What are your success metrics?

Success Metrics

• User Engagement: Onboard grassroots users globally (focus in Africa) through fun and interactive learning strategies.

• Educator Adoption: Train educators n how to interact and use the platform to engage their audiences.

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

As a Cardano Ambassador organizing numerous meetups in parts of Africa, I’ve observed that beginners need engaging, accessible tools to grasp Cardano’s potential before transitioning to complex, on-chain platforms.

This novel solution is an off-chain, interactive lessons platform designed to bridge this gap, transforming static Cardano content into interactive, fun education for global grassroots communities, with a focus on Africa.

Through animated lessons, interactive quizzes, and a dynamic glossary, it makes learning about Cardano’s blockchain, staking, and dApps intuitive and entertaining, requiring no prior blockchain knowledge.

Key Features:

• Animated/Interactive Lessons: vibrant, short animations explaining Cardano concepts (e.g., ADA, decentralization, smart contracts) in simple terms.

• Interactive Quizzes: Gamified quizzes to test knowledge and boost engagement.

• Dynamic Glossary: An illustrated glossary of Cardano terms for quick reference.

• Educator Toolkit: Guides and templates for educators and community centers to deliver Cardano workshops.

• Off-chain Delivery: Web-based platform accessible without blockchain interaction, hosted for global use.

Why It Works:

• Gamification: Turns learning into a fun “quest” to captivate beginners.

• Off-chain Accessibility: No wallet or blockchain knowledge needed, ideal for grassroots learners.

• Transition Focus: Prepares users for advanced on-chain platforms by building foundational knowledge.

•Global Scalability: Designed for Africa but adaptable for worldwide adoption.

This solution empowers educators and meetup organizers to onboard thousands, drawing from my experience as an Ambassador to address real-world learning needs.

[Your Project and Solution] Capabilities & Feasibility

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

As a dedicated Cardano Ambassador, I am committed to delivering this project with integrity, transparency, and accountability.

Over the past four years, I have led Cardano adoption efforts across Ghana and Kenya through governance workshops, constitutional events, and community education programs, including contributing to the Intersect regional hub launches and constitutional workshops in both countries.

My active involvement in the Cardano community has provided me with a solid understanding of its technology and principles, ensuring that the project aligns with the values and vision of the Cardano ecosystem.

My contributions are well-known and appreciated within the community, which fosters trust in my capability to lead this initiative.

To validate the feasibility of this project, we will leverage feedback and insights from user interactions and engagements to tailor our approach to community needs.

This systematic approach will ensure our initiatives are not only impactful but also sustainable within the broader Cardano community.

[Final Pitch] Value for Money

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?

The interactive lessons solution costs ₳45,000 and delivers exceptional value by onboarding many grassroots users ( in Africa) through a novel, interactive platform that makes learning Cardano fun and engaging.

Allocated efficiently (₳18k content, ₳15k development, ₳8k engagement, ₳4k management), it leverages my 20+ meetups in Ghana/Kenya i have hosted and facilitated to train and onboard many grassroots ensuring global scalability.

This pioneering platform transforms static slides and website content, lacking interactivity, into vibrant, gamified lessons and quizzes, bridging the knowledge gap for grassroots beginners seeking accessible and ineractive ways to learn Cardano.

By fostering informed communities ready for onchain platforms, it drives Cardano’s decentralization at a fraction of the Ecosystem budget.

As a Cardano Ambassador, my experience ensures cost-effective execution, delivering high-impact education that brings Cardano’s ecosystem to life for underserved regions and beyond, making it a vital investment for adoption.
