This initiative offers a unique opportunity for participants to gain expertise in blockchain technology, receive mentorship, and, upon completion, potentially secure funding for community-focused blockchain projects.
Empowering underprivileged students through blockchain education
Scheduled to launch on July 17, 2024, the Blockchain Essentials program stands out for its commitment to accessibility and inclusivity.
The program is designed as an online learning experience and is conducted in private groups to ensure each student receives individual attention. This approach not only fosters a supportive learning environment, but also specifically addresses the needs of underserved students who may face barriers in accessing quality educational opportunities. I will respond.
Additionally, MultiversX and eCornell have waived the regular $3,750 course fee, making the program economically accessible to their target audience. By eliminating this financial burden, this initiative aims to democratize access to blockchain education and enable students from diverse backgrounds to explore and leverage the potential of blockchain technology. .
MultiversX supports graduates of Blockchain Essentials program
Upon successful completion of the Blockchain Essentials program, participants receive a certificate recognizing their expertise in Blockchain Essentials.
Beyond the certification, the most appealing aspect of this initiative is the promise of continued support from MultirsX.
Graduates will have the opportunity to receive mentorship and guidance from industry experts, as well as potential funding to develop blockchain projects that address the needs of their communities.
Beniamin Mincu, CEO of MultiversX, highlighted the program’s role in fostering innovation and inclusivity within the blockchain space. He emphasized the program's goal to bring talent into the Web3 ecosystem and enable them to meaningfully contribute to blockchain development and deployment.
In addition to educational support, MultirsX recently introduced “Sovereign Chains,” a next-generation blockchain infrastructure aimed at increasing transaction throughput. This technology can significantly increase the number of transactions per second and smart contract capabilities, highlighting MultiversX's commitment to improving blockchain scalability and ease of use.
Overall, the Blockchain Essentials program not only provides students with valuable blockchain knowledge, but also positions them as potential leaders in driving blockchain innovation within their communities.
By bridging the gap between education and practical application, MultiversX and Cornell University are paving the way for a more inclusive and diverse future in blockchain technology.
