Why is it important?

Quality education is key for development in any sector. We need to onboard education projects to Cardano to make it better for the world

What does success look like?

Having lots of educators and students getting benefitted from projects, much beyond educational content for investors and developers.

Key Metrics to measure

• Number of education-focused proposals submitted.

• Variety of proposals working on basic education, university, community, and informal education sectors.

• Number of new proposers onboarded in Catalyst because of this challenge.

• Overall community engagement (interactions, assessments, votes cast).

• Fair distribution of funded proposals across the continents.

  Challenge brief

There is broad acceptance of the idea that education is key for social development, but this does not always translate into action. We have lived successive failures when it comes to addressing an assertive evolution of school systems. Proof of that, in many countries (developed or not), schools still can be seen as institutions where the old practices take place.

With this challenge, we have a unique opportunity to bring education practitioners motivated by the creation of better education practices in their countries. All proposals willing to promote positive impact in schools, universities, and community education are welcome! Non-technical proposers are welcome.

Teachers, students, faculty members, independent researchers, and community projects will have a chance to pitch their ideas to strengthen their institutions and projects.

Just like Cardano has a strong focus on sustainability, this challenge will establish dialogues between Cardano and the educational sector and get attention from a whole new audience.

The chance of having high-level proposals is compelling, especially because of a need in Cardano and Catalyst: enrich it with more diversity and non-technical proposers in order to expand Cardano's adoption..
