This initiative offers participants a unique opportunity to gain expertise in blockchain technology, receive mentorship, and receive funding for community-based blockchain projects upon completion.
Encouraging students who have not studied blockchain
Launching on July 17, 2024, the Blockchain Essentials program is notable for its commitment to accessibility and inclusion.
Designed as an online learning experience, the program is conducted in private groups, ensuring that each student receives individual attention. This approach not only facilitates a supportive learning environment, but also addresses the needs of many underserved students who are particularly vulnerable to access to high-quality educational opportunities.
In addition, MultiversX and eCornell waived the typical $3,750 course fee, making the program more financially accessible to its target demographic. By removing this financial burden, the initiative aims to democratize access to blockchain education, enabling students from diverse backgrounds to explore and utilize the potential of blockchain technology.
To support graduates of the MultiversX Blockchain Essentials Program
Upon successful completion of the Blockchain Essentials Program, participants will receive a certificate attesting to their knowledge of Blockchain Essentials.
Beyond the certification, the most compelling aspect of the move is the promise of continued support from MultiversX.
Graduates will have access to mentorship and guidance from industry experts, as well as funding to develop blockchain projects that meet the needs of the community.
Benjamin Minku, CEO of MultiversX, emphasized the program's role in fostering innovation and inclusion in the blockchain space. He highlighted the program's goal of bringing talented individuals into the Web3 ecosystem to meaningfully contribute to blockchain development and deployment.
In addition to educational support, MultiversX recently introduced “Sovereign Chains”, a next-generation blockchain infrastructure that aims to enhance transaction flow. With the potential to significantly increase transactions per second, this technology demonstrates MultiversX's commitment to the expansion and usability of blockchain.
Overall, the Blockchain Essentials program not only equips students with valuable blockchain knowledge, but also positions them as leaders in driving blockchain innovation in their communities.
Bridging the gap between education and practical application, MultiversX and Cornell University are creating a comprehensive and diverse path to the future in blockchain technology.
