It was founded in 2022 by Gavin Wood, is a pioneer of its kind and arises with the aim of training talented engineers in web3.
“The Academy is intended for all talented developers, even those with no previous blockchain experience, and will provide them with very strong training and the tools to make them bold.“, explained Pauline Cohen Vorms, director of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy.
“The academy fosters a strong community of like-minded people who support each other, who are starting new projects and contributing to further education within the ecosystem.Vorms added.
Its curriculum includes a large number of disciplines: economics, governance, game theory, cryptography, peer-based and distributed network systems, system design, and APIs, among many others. All this study design is planned so that developers of the Web 2 or traditional ecosystem can attend the Academy and when they leave they have the necessary tools to build within the vast Blockchain ecosystem.
A boost in Argentina and Latin America
After a successful first edition in Cambridge, Polkadot set its goal in Latin America, and specifically in Argentina, for the realization of this second edition of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy, and this motivated by the great potential that has been seen in the region for build on Blockchain technology and consequently on Polkadot.
Given this potential, the team behind the Polkadot Blockchain Academy has set out to support the community of local developers by bringing the program, which have responded with interest by submitting more than 750 requests to access the month of training prepared. However, given the impossibility of giving access to such a high number of requests for logistical reasons, it has been decided to organize additional workshops and side events together with the Polkadot community in the region.
Since Polkadot Hub and the community They organized three side events so that developers and members of the ecosystem can share presentations from leaders of the Polkadot ecosystem and Web3.
The first will be on Thursday, January 12 at 7:00 p.m. in Espacio Darwin, Palermo.
Will be in charge of Raul Romanutti, a member of the Polkadot Council. It will be a talk about Community Treasury and the financing tools that the Polkadot ecosystem has so that projects and teams can build on Web3.
On Tuesday, January 31 robert habermeier -co-founder of Polkadot- and Shawn Tabrizi -core developer of Parity Technologies- will talk about the future of the network in interoperability in blockchains through XCM. The appointment is at 7:00 p.m. at Madero Walk.
Finally, on Wednesday, February 8, there will be a workshop on Ink, the language for writing Smart Contracts in Rust and deploying them in the Polkadot ecosystem. This workshop is ideally designed for developers, since it will be taught entirely in Spanishand will be in charge of Hector Bulgarini Y Ricardo Rius, both developers from Parity Technologies. The meeting will be in Area Tres Palermo, at 5:00 p.m.
For those who participate in the three events, there will be special benefits: access to free Rust, Substrate and Ink courses, which will be taught on the Polkadot Hub, and more proposals to be announced later.
Registration for these 3 Side Events is completely free. The links to register will be published at https://polkadotespanol.com/ and shared through the social networks of @PolkadotEspanol and @PolkadotHub. Space is limited to academy participants, teams and projects seeking funding, and members of the Web3 ecosystem community.
