On behalf of the Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) I am posting this treasury proposal for funding of the fourth wave of the Academy. The PBA will run from January 3rd to February 3rd, 2024 and will be held at Cyberport in Hong Kong. We are also working in partnership with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The program has selected and is enrolling 90 students, 50 developer track students and 40 Founders Track students.

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 previous 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.
