Fund the sponsorship of a UC Berkeley course on Metaverses, NFTs & Creator Economies in Spring 2022

Abstract This proposal would approve a grant of a maximum of 115,000 RLY (~$50,000 USD) to fully fund the sponsorship of a UC Berkeley course on Metaverses, NFTs & Creator Economies in Spring 2022, offered through the Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology (SCET).

Background The full proposal is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ucxbgyNp1_2iK8w6zyJmuOi0zu45YVUdqc3d5rv1M-E/edit?usp=sharing

The forum discussion can be found here: https://forum.rally.io/t/proposal-rly-grants-funding-for-uc-berkeley-course-metaverses-nfts-creator-economies/1201

The course will cover the growing relevance of NFTs and creator economies using a hands-on “Challenge Lab” approach. As a foundational sponsor, the Rally community will benefit from branding in an educational setting, top talent access from UC Berkeley, and invaluable product/ecosystem feedback. Please review our proposal in its entirety to learn more about course specifications and the value to the Rally community.

As mentioned in the discussion, the co-instructors are eager to work closely with the rally community to provide spaces and engagement opportunities where students can engage closely with fans and builders of tools and services for creator economies.

Proposal This proposal will grant up to 115,00 $RLY from the community treasury to fulfill the $50,000 USD sponsorship requirement for the UC Berkeley SCET course.
