[IMPACT]

We have partnered with Techademia to achieve the goal of creating code for the d-edTech Platform in Spanish that will provide a “learn to earn" model. The code for this d-edTeach platform will be open source for the students of the platform and Cardano community to develop and improve. While at the same time offering educational resources to build brand new projects on Cardano. We will provide education for development in the Cardano & Catalyst ecosystem and Incentive systems for learning and development. All these resources will be in Spanish as we are trying to target students and developers in South America.

Our project will increase the number of contributors/developers in the community and thereafter increase the quantity and the quality of Cardano Open Source projects.

Our main concern is with scaling. The cost of paying students to learn will increase as more students partake in learning. We hope to sustain the project by getting support from educational institutions/investors/the Cardano community/local governments.

[FEASIBILITY]

Short-Mid Term (1-3 Months)

Content Development begins. Open-source code available for people to contribute

Mid Term (3-12 Months)

Deploy the beta for the platform and begin to onboard interested/aspiring developers.

Long Term (12 months-36 months) Success

Success will be achieved if we generate between 50,000 enrollments in the first 3 years of operation. With at least 10% of these enrollments acquiring jobs.

Operational Costs (Hardware/Software infrastructure): $4,000

Creation of educational content(translation/software engineering/editing) : $6,000

instructor staff: $8,000

Incentives for Adoption (Learn to Earn, Wifi Access, Computer Access): $12,000

Budget Requested: $30,000

Techademia team members (Ayllu)

[AUDITABILITY]

Numbers of students enrolled in class

Number of student turned into developers and hired

Number of Universities onboarded

Report an increase in the issuance of token rewards to students who complete a course (Correlated to Completion Rates)

Platform can be self sustainable

Recruit at least two academic advisors from different countries in LatAm

Recruit at least two members of local government officials

Amount of contribution to open-source code

Number of lines of code

Success for our project is an increase in the number of students who understand blockchain and implement contribute back to the d-edTech platform code or even develop new creative ideas with their knowledge. Another metric of success will be if the platform has become sustainable through its incentivization method

This will be a continuation and expansion of a course already in development funded in F5 and F7 by DeFi Discussions LLC and Techademia. We are developing a partnership
