Funding Scheme : One Time
Here are some details about the Solidity Bootcamp + The Phoenix Guild:
Our aim is to get more women to break into web3 and create established careers for themselves.
The Phoenix Guild has planned to organize a Solidity Bootcamp for Women, Non-binary Folks and Allies who are interested in learning the language and also motivate them by incentivising their learning process.
We are aiming to have 100+ women developers register for this cohort and our aim is to enable them to attempt projects, bounties and work on hackathons independently at the end of the bootcamp.
Our long term goal is to be able to help these women apply for grants and lead their projects/startups.
Bootcamp structure:
Prerequisites for the 2nd Cohort
-
Familiarity with any one programming language
-
A score of 60% and above in the ClassMarker quiz for basic programming constructs.
Cohort-size:
Minimum: 100
Maximum: 1000
Cohort-type: Virtual and Asynchronous
What is an asynchronous cohort?
Except for 1-2 sessions, all the other study material will be given to you in your inbox/Discord and you can work with those in an asynchronous manner. You would be responsible for your own time and work submissions.
-
There would be office hours by mentors and masterclasses, which are recommended but not compulsory to attend.
-
The Bootcamp, specifically designed to cater to women, allows them to study during their own time and convenience.
##Expected Impact and value for Aurora Community:
Masterclass for Aurora, specifically teaching them to deploy on Aurora.
More than 100 Quality devs joining the Aurora Community.
Final project deployment on Aurora.
Branding and Outreach to expand the Aurora community.
The bootcamp will be followed by a 1 day IRL hacker house which will prepare the cohort for upcoming hackathons such as ETH India.
Our past women only Hacker houses in Bangalore and Lisbon (In collaboration with NEAR) have been a huge success and we are looking to continue this tradition , you can read more about the hacker house experience from one of the attendees here.
Metrics for success
Cohort:
The success metric for the cohort is for the cohort attendees to be able to start working in the web3 ecosystem post the cohort completion. Work could be focused on Solidity or other ecosystems, could be part-time, full-time, in the form of hackathon/grant projects, and so on.
Individual:
Individual success in the cohort is measured step-wise.
-
Every weekly content has associated class marker quizzes that need to be cleared by the individuals.
-
Clearing the quizzes makes them eligible for incentives(based on the funds we are able to raise).
-
As the weeks’ progress, the difficulty of the quizzes will progress. The individuals will get one attempt at each quiz.
-
Individuals will also have to pass specific assignment submissions, apart from the quizzes every week.
-
At the end of the cohort, the individuals would have to submit group projects that will be evaluated by internal/external mentors
Please see the results of our Genesis cohort here.
