We also share some blockchain-related job opportunities and skill-related resources.\n\nWe also run Cohort sessions on the basics of Blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, quarterly every year with over 200 participants being recorded.\n\nOUR AIM\nTo create more awareness and onboard more Web3 enthusiasts into the Blockchain industry in Africa through education.\n\nOUR OBJECTIVES \n• To propagate/preach the adoption of blockchain technology to our community members and beyond our community.\n\n• To encourage the acquisition of blockchain-related skills in our community.\n\n• To Provide valuable educational resources to our audience.\n\n\n\nPROBLEM STATEMENT: BRIDGING THE CRYPTOCURRENCY KNOWLEDGE GAP IN AFRICA \n\nThe problem:\n\nAfrica has a huge potential for cryptocurrency adoption, but many people, especially in rural areas, lack the basic knowledge needed to use digital assets. Even though more young people are using smartphones, there aren't enough easy-to-access educational resources. This gap leaves many vulnerable to scams and limits their chances to benefit from the growing digital economy.\n\n\nScale of the Problem: \n\n- A large number of Africa's population, particularly in rural regions, suffers from limited digital literacy, which slows cryptocurrency adoption.\n\n- The lack of comprehensive cryptocurrency education has led to significant financial losses due to scams, fraudulent activities, and as well government restrictions.\n\nOur Solution:\n\nAlphablocks is tackling this pressing issue by offering free, accessible, and high-quality cryptocurrency education to communities across Africa. Through our quarterly cohorts, we provide a structured learning experience that empowers individuals to:\n\n- Grasp the fundamentals of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.\n\n- Recognize and mitigate risks associated with digital assets.\n\n- Engage confidently in the cryptocurrency space.\n\n- Become advocates for financial literacy and digital innovation within their communities.\n\nBy equipping individuals with the tools and knowledge they need, Alphablocks is helping to create a more informed and empowered African population, capable of leveraging the potential of cryptocurrencies for economic growth and development.\n\n\n\nHOW OUR COHORT WILL BENEFIT THE CELO ECOSYSTEM \n\n-In terms of exposure to the Solution and the utilities of Celo ecosystem, enthusiasts would be willing to explore them through our cohort.\n- Also, exploring the wallets and other financial features existing on Celo blockchain through our cohort will drive in more traffic as we onboard the blockchain enthusiasts.\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "AlphaBlocksTech"}
