This initiative provides a unique opportunity for participants to gain expertise in blockchain technology, receive mentorship, and secure funding for their community-driven blockchain projects upon completion.
Strengthening the capabilities of underprivileged students through blockchain education
The Blockchain Essentials Program, scheduled to launch on July 17, 2024, stands out for its commitment to accessibility and inclusion.
Designed as an online learning experience, the program is taught in private cohorts to ensure each student receives personalized attention. This approach not only promotes a supportive learning environment, but also specifically meets the needs of underrepresented students who may have difficulty accessing high-quality educational opportunities.
MultiversX and eCornell also waived the typical $3,750 tuition fee, making the program financially accessible to the target population. By removing this financial burden, the initiative aims to democratize access to blockchain education and empower students from diverse backgrounds to explore and utilize the potential of blockchain technology.
MultiversX supports graduates of blockchain essential programs
Upon successful completion of the Blockchain Essentials program, participants will receive a certificate acknowledging their expertise in blockchain essentials.
Besides certification, the most attractive aspect of this initiative is MultiversX’s commitment to ongoing support.
Graduates will have the opportunity to receive mentorship and guidance from industry experts, as well as potential funding to develop blockchain projects that address community needs.
Beniamin Mincu, CEO of MultiversX, emphasized the program’s role in promoting innovation and inclusion within the blockchain space. He emphasized the program’s goal of bringing talented individuals into the Web3 ecosystem so they can meaningfully contribute to blockchain development and deployment.
In addition to educational support, MultiversX recently introduced “Sovereign Chains,” a next-generation blockchain infrastructure aimed at improving transaction throughput. This technology, which can significantly increase the number of transactions per second and smart contract functionality, highlights MultiversX’s commitment to improving blockchain scalability and usability.
Overall, the Blockchain Essentials program not only provides students with valuable blockchain knowledge, but also positions them as potential leaders in blockchain innovation within the community.
MultiversX and Cornell University are paving the way for a more inclusive and diverse future in blockchain technology by bridging the gap between education and real-world applications.
