1. Onchain Progress Report 15 May 2025 - wimsio/universities GitHub Wiki

Project ID : 1300148

Target : At least 60 students with on-chain credentials for first quarter.

Problem Statement

Many activities for onboarding are short lived: mostly are 1 to 3 day events. Examples are hackathons, 1 day workshops to new attendees. Time is too short for new attendees to understand Cardano Smart Contract development

Proposal

I propose to train tertiary students in Plutus and eUTXO upgrading their web2 skills to web3, also expanding their efficiency in coding through Haskell/Plutus which is a functional programming language.

Why do it this way?

Since 2022 I have used Cardano Smart Contracts to upskill Richfield students. It has also made it possible for them to quickly get jobs and even to spend more time doing Cardano Smart Contract development. This is a qualitative effective way of onboarding new Cardano users. If funded people will see many student developers working on Plutus and eUTXO globally.

15 May 2025 Progress Report

Face with a lot of enrolment of students very new to Haskell Plutus and also faced with challenges of the fact that these are also very new to blockchain, it is exciting to note enrolment 155 and total students who have progressed from Haskell Chapter 1 to 5 with onchain credentials NFTs are 27.
