Celo Developer Workshop 3.0

Proponents: Mukunde Brisa Request: 600 cUSD Date: Saturday 29th July 2023

Greetings Celo Africa Community

I'm excited to announce a proposal for the Celo Developer Workshop 3.0 that will happen on Saturday, 29th July 2023, in Kampala, at Innovation Village. The workshop will aim at bringing together community members, blockchain-curious and developers to learn, network and collaborate on building different ideas on the celo blockchain.

Objectives:

• The main objective of the Celo Developer Workshop is to provide participants with in-depth knowledge and practical skills necessary to develop decentralized applications (dApps) on the Celo blockchain platform.
• Foster Collaboration: Encourage developers to collaborate and work together, fostering a sense of community and cross-pollination of ideas.
• Provide developer participants with the necessary resources, tools, and support to enhance their understanding and utilization of the Celo blockchain.
• Expand Community: Attract new developers and community members, expanding the reach and impact of the Celo ecosystem.
• Promote Adoption: Encourage developers to build and deploy real-world projects on Celo, driving wider adoption of Celo's technology.

Metrics to Track:

• Attendance: We aim to have a minimum of 50 participants for the workshop.
• Participant Satisfaction: Conduct post-workshop surveys to evaluate the overall satisfaction level, knowledge gained, and usefulness of the workshop content.
• Project Development: Track the number of projects initiated or completed by the participants after the workshop.
• Community Engagement: Encourage participants to join the Celo developer community, measure the number of attendees who actively engage in community social media platforms, contribute to open-source projects, or participate in hackathons.

Format of the Workshop:

• The workshop will be a hybrid event, running for a period of 1 week. Participants will have access to:
• Developer office hours
• Celo Tutorials
• Presentation: Presentation and judging of the ideas built before the workshop
• Submissions and awarding of the best projects

• Live Coding: Live Coding takes the attendees through a simple use case that they will be working on and building during the session.
• Teams Formation: Participants can organize and form teams or join existing teams to work on the projects.
• Project Development: Provide participants with dedicated time to work on their projects, and developer office hours to support them when building.
• Project Presentations: Participants will showcase their projects during the next workshop to the Community for judging based on predetermined metrics.
