Detailed Plan
Through NFT-DAO I, Giezi Ordonez, would like to create a blockchain club which would bring together different colleges in Colorado. This would involve networking with University officials and faculty to provided a blockchain internship to students at NFT-DAO or other DAO’s who would be interested in participating.
So far NFT-DAO has already built a relationship with the Center for Blockchain and Digital Innovation at the University of Wyoming and has onboarded two new students who have also created there own proposals. Link’s here:

and there are more who are interested to join!
I have already made some progress with creating a relationship between Colorado State University and NFT-DAO. This has involved talking with faculty to push out newsletters to different clubs about what NFT-DAO, Cardano, and Project Catalyst are within the college of business as well as providing educational talks for heads of the CIS, CS, Marketing, and Finance departments.
Universities I would target for this program:
Colorado State University
University of Colorado Boulder
University of Northern Colorado
Colorado School of Mines
Departments/ Majors I would target for this program:
3rd and 4th year undergraduate students and above,
Computer Science
UI/UX
Costs:
Web Development, for a website = $1,500
Transportation = $2,100
Working Hours = $6,000
Metrics:
- Relations that have been build with the different colleges
- Student entrepreneurs driven to non-dilutive funding at Catalyst
- Web Traffic Metrics
Success Defined:
- 3 months make contact with all schools and hold informational meetings to engage students
- 6 months start at least two on campus clubs (membership metrics vary by campus to host a club)
