Ed3Weekly: Issue #12 of Web3🤝Education
Hello my friends, greetings from the Netherlands! This will be short as I am currently in the middle of a two-week vacation in Europe. But I still have time for a web3🤝education update. Web3 is always on my mind so while traveling I am always on the lookout for anything blockchain, metaverse, or related. There are three things in particular that are happening while I am here that will provide me with an opportunity to expand my web3 knowledge.
One of the exciting components of this new evolution in our technology is the global appeal. Regardless of country, we are all yearning to buidl the next iteration of the internet, AR/VR, and artistic expression. Web3 will play a prominent role in all three of these. Whether it is an NFT display at a museum, a museum dedicated to digital art, or a festival dedicated to the metaverse, there are so many opportunities to learn about his new technology.
While I will not be able to attend the metaverse festival I do have the two museum visits on my agenda so I hope to make them happen. I did connect with a Netherlands web3 group that is doing some meet-ups around the festival, so I may try to attend an irl event with them. I came across them from a simple google search of "Netherlands web3 group." I found their Twitter, joined the discord, introduced myself, and now I have some web3 friends in the Netherlands!
Thanks for stepping in for this traveled shortened issue. Next week I hope to share some impressions of the museums. Check out the descriptions and links below and click to read more.

NFT Exhibition at Amsterdam Museum
the New FuTure Amsterdam | Moco Museum — mocomuseum.com
While sitting in the airport waiting for my bags to arrive (more on that here), I looked up and saw an advert for a museum exhibition on NFTs. It was a nice boost of web3 joy in an otherwise not-so-happy moment in time. On the website, they are calling the New FuTure, "Europe’s first dedicated exhibition space to the NFT phenomenon." I anticipate we will be seeing more museum displays that are web3-related and focus on innovative art that uses blockchain technology, excited to see what this is all about.
NXT Museum, A Museum Dedicated to New Media Art
Nxt Museum - Nxt Museum — nxtmuseum.com
I have heard some really amazing things about this museum. I can't wait to see emerging digital art using visual and audio technologies to tell stories. As an artist myself I get most excited about how our art forms will evolve as these tools become more available. As an educator, I look forward to supporting young people to express themselves with these new tools. Can't wait to be inspired.
A Metaverse Festival in Amsterdam
MET AMS | Where the metaverse & reality come to meet — met-ams.xyz
This was one of the first things that popped up when I searched for "Netherlands metaverse." As tempting as it is to go to a three-day conference on all things metaverse, I don't think I could get away with detouring from our travel plans for me to go attend this, lol. Not to worry, we'll see if a little web3 meet-up can come together so I can make some new web3 frens.
