[IMPACT]

Build an educational hub for individuals to learn about basic Cardano tools and functions as well as their underlying ability to affect the future of the Cardano ecosystem through programs like Catalyst.

The Virtual Space would include educational material compiled together from various community sources on the following topics:

• Cardano:
• Wallets
• Delegation
• Catalyst
• Proposal Building
• Challenge Teams
• Community Advisement
• Voting
• Governance

This community hub for Catalyst offers an engaging educational environment that is being mass marketed in order to onboard the general populace, and sets the stage for an expanded Project Catalyst communal hub.

Beginning as a learning center for Project Catalyst, the space can easily be expanded into a hub for the projects and proposals to showcase progress.

Using interactive virtual environments to teach engages participants, increasing their ability to retain information and interest. There are far less communication barriers when learning and teaching in an interactive environment. This space will incorporate existing education materials from community resources on an open platform with little barrier to entry.

Catalyst is a constantly adapting entity. Updating information as Catalyst changes and adding new community material that is published is vital to the hub’s effectiveness.

[FEASIBILITY]

Resources are currently being gathered to begin building. Interactive teaching ideas are being gathered to bolster effectiveness. This build will begin despite any funding allocations in order to add to our network of hubs. Expansion of the Catalyst hub will be primarily dependent on community interest through Catalyst funding in further rounds.
