This initiative offers a unique opportunity for participants to gain specialized knowledge in blockchain technology, receive mentorship, and potentially secure funding for community-focused blockchain projects upon completion.
Empowering underserved students through blockchain education
The Blockchain Essentials Program, set to begin on July 17, 2024, stands out for its commitment to accessibility and inclusivity.
Designed as an online learning experience, the program will be conducted in private cohorts, ensuring each student receives personalized attention. This approach not only facilitates a supportive learning environment but also caters specifically to the needs of underserved students who may face barriers to accessing high-quality educational opportunities.
In addition, MultiversX and eCornell have waived the usual $3,750 course fee, making the program financially accessible to its target demographic. By eliminating this financial burden, the initiative aims to democratize access to blockchain education, empowering students from diverse backgrounds to explore and leverage blockchain technology’s potential.
MultiversX to support Blockchain Essentials Program graduates
Upon successful completion of the Blockchain Essentials Program, participants will receive a certificate acknowledging their expertise in blockchain essentials.
Beyond certification, the most compelling aspect of the initiative is the promise of continued support from MultiversX.
Graduates will have the opportunity to receive mentorship and guidance…
