On behalf of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) I am posting this treasury proposal for retroactive funding for the third wave of the Academy. The Polkadot Blockchain Academy at UC Berkeley ran from July 10th to August 10th 2023, in partnership with the Berkeley RDI centre. The program educated 75 students, 55 developer track students and 20 students went through the pilot of the founders track syllabus.
The goal of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy is to help speed the adoption of Polkadot by seeding the ecosystem with educated developers and aspiring Polkadot ecosystem team founders. Currently we offer in person education such as the course held at UC Berkeley, we are also creating online content and have recently made the developer track syllabus materials available for all online.
Below is a link to the proposal in detail.
