Substrate training program in 15 Universities in China
1. Overview
Hello,everyone, I'm Chao Du from ByteLink Technology,and also a Polkadot Ambassador(Potential).
Recently, I am working with 8BTC,and we plan to orgnaize a large-scale technical training in Colleges and universities in China.we will mainly cooperate with the schools to popularize the knowledge of blockchain, orgnaize technical training(especially Substrate), and help enterprises to recruit developers.
A few days ago, I have taken part in organizing of two offline activities in Shanghai and Nanjing for Polkadot, and both achieved good results. I also helped ecological projects to contact a lot of cooperations and activities.
I think it's time both for Polkadot ecology and blockchain in China's current development stage to do something valuable, such as do a good job in propaganda and education in Colleges and universities;
I and 8BTC plan to hold 30 to 40 offline activities in 15 colleges and universities in five cities, the number of participants is expected to reach 3000-6000.And finally,we will screen out who understand technology and want to join the blockchain industry.
In addition, we are also communicating with BSN, imToken, Cosmos, PlatON etc., and they all have the willingness to cooperate.

My questions below:
- could you provide more granularity on milestones? of the 30k you re requesting: what portion will go to which activity in particular? and on hiring students to lead the workshops: how do you choose them? are they already elected to participate?
- when will the course start?
- could you further explain the media costs a bit more? there seems to be an error on the calculation for it.
- can you tell us a bit more about material costs? whats included there?
- are the listed schools on the proposal already in agreement to participate in the program?
- can you tell us more about what topics will be discussed for Substrate? do you have a program with discussion points or topics to review? Do I understand correctly that Substrate will only be studied on intermediate course?
- what are your success metrics for substrate in particular? how do you define success?
- could you give us an insight into how are other partners contributing? it seems to me that the Treasury will be covering 1/3 of the total cost approx with no specific focus on Substrate and Polkadot in the program in particular - i'd like to understand more about other partners' contributions.
-
All expenses have been listed and are calculated based on the estimated number of schools, the number of activities and the estimated average cost required by the cost items.
-
About the employment of students,at present, 8btc and I will recruit students in schools, some of them may also be recruited from the society, and some may also be recommended by the professors we cooperate with.
-
Some schools have already started, most of them are in negotiation, but some potential schools have not yet started negotiation;There are three points to be explained for the cooperative universities
- We will also work with more partners to expand other universities, which may not be on the list;
- We will focus on leading universities in various provinces, as well as science and engineering universities
- The individual schools in the list may be changed due to the influence of "COVID-19".
- Media costs are calculated as follows:
15 schools3 activities3 media*300usd each=40,500 usd
It usually includes some quick information and activity reports;
- Material cost:
It mainly includes two parts:the first part is the pre publicity poster (100 $) and roll up banner (50 $) for each activity;the other part is the leaflet page and course content for the students, with 150 copies (150 $) for each session;
-
The whole process is divided into elementary interest introduction, intermediate technology introduction and advanced enterprise internship. Students who can enter intermediate technology are screened out through primary screening, and then they can learn about the technology by teaching them introductory substrate courses, and then they can try to learn the existing substrate courses.But on the whole, our goal is to train and cultivate them. We really can't make them have a very high level of technology very soon.
-
Our goal is to attract 3000 to 6000 students to participate, and more than 300 students who know or are interested in technology can enter the intermediate class, and 30 of them will be admitted to Polkadot ecological enterprise for internship. We regard this as an important evaluation standard.
-
We are still considering whether to add hacker marathon and workshop to test their learning, but because they may be distributed in different cities, it is difficult to implement.
