APE University (Education in Web3)

[Marielle_Li]

Great initiative! My voice is with you!

[bushed]

I wonder what kind of professions will there be? Will there be anything related to the creation of NFT or coins? or will it be about how to scam wallets? (LOL)

[BlueMountain]

That sounds very interesting, I like that.
This is exactly the right approach.
I don’t know if I understood it correctly
But I could imagine two things
1.) As mentioned: train people in Web3 professions (in my opinion these would be people who already have knowledge)
2.) A training program for absolute newcomers to this entire space.
Benefit to the Apecoin Ecosystem: many new members who come into contact with the Apecoin Ecosystem from day one.

Would Love to be a part of this and help to build and bring students to the APE University

[furiousanger]

If we look at how successful BoringSecurity classes have been/are - with relevant, helpful & informative content, that’s provided by competent web3 people (and often experts in the security field) - I see no reason why something similar in theme wouldn’t thrive. Also this has ZERO cost - so makes even more sense to me. GL with this.

Excellent, not just here at apecoinDAO, but the entire web3 market, really needs schools, a lot of people without knowledge, especially here in Brazil where I live, many people here recurrently fall into financial pyramid scams due to lack of learning.

Hi @felipesilva! Of course, all educational activities will be provided for everyone who wants to become University students. This is precisely one of the advantages for Apecoin DAO itself. As for protection from fraudulent schemes, today we already have a wonderful school, Boring Security, whose lessons teach you how to protect yourself and your crypto-assets from scammers in the Web3 space. Our goal will be broader and will not be limited to just protection from fraudsters.

@felipesilva

Some classes can also be translated into other languages.
The united community helps each other and goes further!

Expanding the languages in which training will be conducted takes time, because this will be live training with a teacher.

Hi @StrawberrySith!

@StrawberrySith

I could be onboard with something like this if, though the skills can be applicable anywhere, all practices, seminar projects, use cases, and so on would be strictly ApeCoin ecosystem related.

Thank you for your interest. I think after the formation of this unit, everyone will be able to express their desire to join the project team.

@StrawberrySith

I’ll also add that I’m familiar with several academies that have an interesting business model, where those accepted to the course do not pay a penny until they get their first job, after which they start paying retroactively for the course every month relative to their salary. We can modify this so that it can be per salary or per mint/project.

This is definitely a good model for getting tuition paid, but only if we can be sure that we can employ all of our graduates. In any case, everything related to tuition fees will be put forward for discussion in the future at the University itself.

@StrawberrySith

(The courses are expensive).

The prices on the website are currently shown as an example only.

@Zloj

Excellent AIP. I am glad that your idea for Prop House has found a continuation in this AIP.

Hey @Zloj! Thanks for support!

@Zloj

Maybe @Feld and Boring Security will head the Faculty of security in web3

This role would definitely suit him.

@hackhulkcrypto

I think this will be the most promising direction now, because cryptography has begun its intensive development. The amount of information is huge. Creating such a platform will be an advanced solution

Thanks @hackhulkcrypto! Yes, we see that a huge number of projects are being built and over time, if there is no trained personnel, good projects will begin to experience a shortage of personnel, or put incompetent people in positions, which in turn can lead to disastrous consequences. Even if we take marketing in Web3 as an example, I have already witnessed the collapse of many projects simply because of incorrectly structured marketing, but besides marketing there are many positions that are much more important and whose mistakes can lead to more unpleasant consequences.

@bushed

or will it be about how to scam wallets? (LOL)

Hey @bushed! Haha, definitely need to add a class like this.
But seriously, this will not be limited to learning how to create NFTs. This University should train specialists of various kinds, marketers, lawyers, programmers, etc., and all training for these professions will be focused on the Web3 space.

@BlueMountain

But I could imagine two things

Hi @BlueMountain! Thank you for your support and desire to help! There will be directions for both beginners and more experienced people who decide to learn new skills for themselves.

@furiousanger

If we look at how successful BoringSecurity classes have been/are - with relevant, helpful & informative content, that’s provided by competent web3 people (and often experts in the security field) - I see no reason why something similar in theme wouldn’t thrive.

Hi @furiousanger! People saw that the crypto space is not only trading in tokens and NFTs, but also a whole area in which you can get a very real job and get paid, and someone might want to create their own project and perhaps we will have a class in which they will study Web3 project management, planning, personnel management. In general, many professions are taught in ordinary educational institutions, but with us all training will take place adjusted for the Web3 space. For example, in the “Law in Web3” class, it will be possible to train lawyers specifically for Web3, and when they come to any project, they will know exactly what actions can lead to what consequences. But for all this we will need competent teachers.

@furiousanger

Also this has ZERO cost - so makes even more sense to me.

Important note here. Zero cost is defined specifically for this AIP; this proposal is aimed at creating a University as an additional structure supervised by Apecoin DAO. But after creating and determining the set of the team, we will need to prepare an AIP in which the amount may already be requested to start the training. I would really like this to not require any costs at any stage of the launch, but as I wrote before, we will need teachers who will spend a lot of their time and they will definitely want to get paid for it. We may have to launch free training first. But over time, when the University wins the trust of people and the image of a promising educational institution, I think we will have enough students paying for their studies so that all employees can be paid from the treasury of the University itself.

[felipesilva]

Excellent, you can count on my help too, I’ve always been striving to generate value here at DAO in some way, you have my full support !!!

[StrawberrySith]

Thanks for your responses @Russell
Just a few notes of clarification on my part.

By “me being onboard” I meant I would vote for this lol but I would certainly consider joining the project team

RE tuition, yes, now that I recall the same coding academies I had in mind whose business models I was describing do indeed help with job placement, as it is in their interest (otherwise it would take longer to get paid for the courses). Perhaps your APE University/Academy can do the same, developing not only relationships with many different projects but becoming a recognizable origin for sourcing fresh talent.

RE “The courses are expensive”, what I actually meant was that coding academies/bootcamps/courses in general, especially with these types of models, cost a pretty penny. They are usually worth it, especially if the payment is deferred until placement and there is actually assistance in placement. I didn’t mean “too expensive”, sorry about the confusion.

Onwards and upwards! Let’s see that official AIP Draft!

[SBansy]

Sincerely support the idea. It can be the beginning of transforming the education sphere as we know it to something different. Btw, do You have any plans to gain the government-approved educational license and provide the first educational courses with diplomas/certificates stored on blockchain?

In my opinion, it’ll be the game changer for the whole world and can help to even more mass adoption in Web3/Crypto and especially in $APE ecosystem as the source of this idea

@SBansy

Actually, I like this point of view, but I guess calling to this point seems to be almost impossible.

First of all, we have to implement it in the Web3 community and gain a lot of students - that’s not as easy as it seems.

[PixelGoliath]

I like your suggestion. What is the strategy for recruiting students and launching training once the proposal is adopted? Have you already determined the list of faculties and specialties for which training will be conducted?

[bushed]

Thanks for you answer!

Hello,

I really like this AIP and i think that this can bring a true value to the ApecoinDao and also the entire crypto/nft ecosystem without talking about the benefits on the token itself

another point that maybe some people can relate is the fact that there’s many countries that actually have a certain lack of level in term of “technologies” this affect directly the level of eduction in thoese specific domains so ApecoinDao can literaly create an alternative that will grant an improvement of the international educationnal content

@felipesilva

Hey @felipesilva! Thanks for support! This is already bringing benefits!

@StrawberrySith

By “me being onboard” I meant I would vote for this lol but I would certainly consider joining the project team

Now I understand. Unfortunately, I still have to use Google translator, which, as we can see, is not ideal. But anyway, I’m grateful for your support!

@SBansy

Btw, do You have any plans to gain the government-approved educational license and provide the first educational courses with diplomas/certificates stored on blockchain?

That would be great. I think after approval it will be possible to consider such a possibility in the future, but as @me_myself_crypto said, it will not be easy.

@PixelGoliath

What is the strategy for recruiting students and launching training once the proposal is adopted?

First, I think it would be a good idea from a marketing point of view to give away places to future partners projects. And in the future it is planned to introduce a commercial basis for studying.

[StrawberrySith]

Didn’t know you were using Google! AI will be reading all our minds soon anyway

[furyjolter]

Cool idea. I hope it will be possible to study there at your own pace, without creating additional stress — as much as everyone can afford and when it is convenient. One hour every day is better than 10 hours in a row on Sunday
