Ed3 Weekly Issue #120: Will You Ever Learn?
Web3 learning opportunities abound as blockchain interest grows
Hello Ed3 Community,
Are you ready to level up your blockchain knowledge? If not, what are you waiting for?
As the desire to understand the power of blockchain technology grows, learning opportunities in Web3 do too. This newsletter often highlights the connections between Web3 technology and education, and now is a great time to embark on your educational journey into blockchain.
There are many resources available, many of which are free. This week's newsletter updates you on some of these options and showcases how others are advancing their learning.
Learning isn't just for adults either. This week, we highlight the Blockchain4Youth initiative, designed to “empower and inspire young generations with Web3 and crypto with the aim of cultivating future blockchain leaders.” For those "young at heart," RadQuest offers a gamified approach to learning about blockchain that's fun for all ages.
In our weekly deep dive, we feature the work of Mike Peck from Ed3 DAO. He has been diligently increasing education and outreach in the Web3 space, including an exciting partnership with Coinbase.
Enjoy this week's resources, and get out there and learn!
