# Abstract

Aurora Certified Developer (ACD) Bootcamp is a coding training that verifies the abilities of participants. During the 5 days training people have to develop a new smart contract and run it successfully on the Aurora Network.

Open Web Academy has been piloting NEAR-certified bootcamps and development with Solidity in AURORA ([see pilot](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkwvyg8hchrtr8-PDow5gd89Yam7nOwxJ)) ([see proposal in NEAR](https://gov.near.org/t/near-certified-aurora-developer-ncad-design-by-owa/23830)), and its members have worked for the last year on NEAR Protocol educational projects.

In this document is proposed a 3 months program to take cover of Aurora Certified Developer. This is written on a monthly basis with its own tasks.

# Value proposal

Teach smart contract developers the benefits of building on the Aurora Network, promote building web 3 with AuRORA, and give the Aurora Network a body of certified developers who can build on their blockchains.

# ACD Bootcamp contents

The Open Web Academy team proposes the delivery of the AURORA Certified Developer with Solidity, complying with the following contents.  
Each bootcamp takes place over 5 days, each day a topic is addressed in a 1-hour video call and a study guide is also provided in Spanish with theoretical and practical content on the Notion platform.

- Unit 1.- Introduction to the development of smart contracts in the Solidity programming language and the AURORA Network.

- Unit 2.- Interaction, compilation and deployment of a smart contract using Remix in the AURORA Network.

- Unit 3.- Migration of a smart contract developed in Remix to an IDE for programming and developing test functions in HardHat.

- Unit 4.- Configuration and deployment of a smart contract in the AURORA Network

- Unit 5.- Demo Day.

# Monthly deliverables

- Active marketing campaign of the ACD Bootcamp through Open Web Academy channels. (Twitter, Discord and Web page)
- Individual certificates in NFT format for all those who have accredited the necessary basic knowledge of the AURORA Certified Developer
- Evaluations and feedback of each participant by email with the details written in a PDF document.
- Learning path in text document indicating previous work, goals and previous resources for taking the AURORA Certified Developer with Solidity certification and future work.
- Reading link for the work guide (Readings, tutorials, resources and activities of the participants mounted on the Notion Platform.
- Public YouTube playlist with each day of certification
- Weekly office hours sessions focused on AURORA within the OWA Discord channel
