If you grew up in the 90s you are probably familiar with Go-Peds. They are motorized, gas powered scooters and are an absolute blast to race and ride around on. Well they have been making a comeback lately and we have a local community that gets together with all of our kids to race, BBQ, and have fun. After doing this the last year, we have been getting consistent feedback from the kids who join about how much fun it is and if they can bring their friends, which has been making our small group grow larger and larger. We decided we did not just want to race and BBQ, but also educate these young impressionable minds in finance and blockchain, as we feel this is something extremely important to get an early start on. We have decided we would like to make this an official community with formalized lesson plans as well as racing meet ups. And we would like our lesson plans to focus on Blockchain and Cardano.
We are in the Bay Area, in the heart of Silicon Valley. A place that has a long history of technological innovation and where a large number of popular tech startups got their start. The youth here will all grow into adults who will be going into the workforce. Some will start their own companies, some will go into finance or Venture Capital, some will work for the big tech firms in the area. Having this next generation growing up with Cardano will ensure that they keep this interest and have Cardano in mind at work. They will be the ones who will be incorporating Cardano into their new payment system or using decentralized identity to help supplement their insurance business. We truly feel that by getting the interest of this younger generation, we will ensure that Cardano is truly adopted and become mainstream.
In the past we have found that trying to teach or educate our kids about finance topics doesn't really go far and they usually end up zoning out after a few minutes. But by having a race day where they can have fun, meet other kids, and learn together has really been having a lot of success. They have been attentive, engaging, asking questions, and even applying what they have been learning by downloading wallets. It is because of this that we feel having formalized lessons to go over during our race days on blockchain and Cardano specifically will keep them attentive and interested.
Our main challenge will be growing our community. Without new members we will not succeed. We are currently setting up multiple social media accounts. With the use of social media platforms we will be able reach a much larger audience. Once we have these accounts fully operational we will be posting content which will be shared by other members and our presence will continue to grow.
