Play2Learn2Earn ADA Makerspace Game
Problem
Learning blockchain development is a lot of hard work, and many of the teaching resources are not fun. Causing people to give up or not try at all.
Solution
Almost everyone loves playing games, and when done correctly game mechanics can be used to make learning fun and competitive. Gamification of learning would help more people become DEVs.
Total to date
This is the total amount allocated to Play2Learn2Earn ADA Makerspace Game.
[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.
We will create a fun to play real time strategy game where people can learn together and compete for prizes. The game will be similar to Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne. Players will be able to earn NFTs and tokens by learning about blockchain development.
[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
Our Play2Learn2Earn will bring in many people who want to become a DEV or become a better one, it will also attract people who may not care as much about learning but just love playing the game and earning. :) but they will be learning the whole time!

Team
I have been in the trenches trying to learn blockchain development for over 2 years and over the last couple years I have tried many different ways of learning and found things like https://cryptozombies.io/ to be the best at teaching how to design digital assets and DApps.
