Howdy everybody, Shot here with Banyan Collective + OnboardDAO. Proud to announce the formation of NEAR Workshops!
Objectives
- The main focus of NEARWorkshops is to produce workshops that are developer focused and that helps users get onboarded to the ecosystem.
- Host live sessions for the public to engage with experts
- Produce free content available on platforms like youtube with relevant documentation for people to start learning and pipeline to proper NEAR education verticals
Why?
Lately, I’ve been primarily working with Builder Groups to help projects scale (more on this to be announced but if you are a builder, founder, or technical PM, join the respective builder group here (nearhacks.com/builders). For our meetings we are also making sessions publicly available. Weekly calls are like an ecosystem Scrum for the respective verticals where our main objective is to build open sourcing tooling and push NEPs. Its a no-brainer to host workshops since we interface with alot of builders who are eager to teach others the new tech they are building. From starting NEAR Hacks, working with builders, and organizing workshops for the Minority Programmers, I found hosting public workshops is one of the easiest ways for me to learn, engage the community, and produce relevant content that people can develop for years to come.
The main reason to make this post is not funding but awareness. What I need is projects to schedule workshops, people to recommend projects to highlight and fellow co-host to help engage and create content.
Additionally, there are alot of twitter spaces going on, but people catch watch twitter spaces or have the opportunity to learn lectures, look at documentation, etc. This is for more engaged learning with the opportunity for the public to join and ask experts live.
Who I Am Inspired By
There are already a lot of resources out there and people who are creating content in this ecosystem that I absolutely admire.
- Ready Layer One Podcast

- NEAR Insider Near Insider TV - YouTube
