Creatives DAO Funding Proposal
The Clan DAO AGO - SEPT
Workshop Marathon before ETH Milan
Introduction
“The ones who didn’t leave are back!”
Welcome to a transformative and immersive series of workshops by The Clan DAO. From August to the end of September, this comprehensive program is designed to empower, educate, and inspire individuals in the realms of the Metaverse, Artificial Intelligence, Decentralized Applications, and Fashion Technology.
We aim to bring together a diverse group of participants interested in leveraging the power of new technologies to create innovative solutions, artistic expressions, and community-driven projects.
The workshops will be conducted once per week, culminating in a grand showcase at ETH Milan 2023. We invite participants from various backgrounds and skill levels to join us on this exciting journey, guided by the experienced hand of @duOCELOT. Whether you’re an artist, developer, designer, or enthusiast, these workshops have a place for you.
Through hands-on practice, collaborative learning, and creative exploration, attendees will gain practical skills, insights, and the confidence to create and contribute in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
Each workshop will be available for 15 subscribers. One can participate in the other; there’s no limitation. Besides the 3D that will need a basic Blender acknowledgment and some equipment to build, the others can almost easily be done through your smartphone.
Please find below the detailed agenda, project descriptions, and workshop budget. We look forward to your support and collaboration in making this vision come to life.
The workshops will be conducted once per week, with all courses to be completed before October 2 and showcased at ETH Milan 2023.
The minister of the workshops is @duOCELOT, and he can be reached via Telegram at t.me/duOCELOT.

Invitation and Participant Selection
Once the proposal is approved, an invitation will be announced. A form will be created to collect the following details of interested participants:
- Email address
- NEAR wallet details
- I-am-human KYC verification
- Telegram handle
- Experience with AI (if any)
- Tools currently used in AI or related work
This information will help us better tailor the workshops to the experience level and needs of the participants.
The following software will be required:
Internet Connection
Blender 3.6
A PC for 3D building using NEAR HUB SPOKE online editor.
The AI tools will be presented after the candidates fill out the form.
We will use ChatGPT, image generators such as Leonardo.ai, https://lexica.art, Stable Diffusion apps, and others as tiles generators, sound generators and video.
Image editor software such as Photoshop and Illustrator. There’s a 7-day trial for them if you don’t have it. They are powerful tools; we are saving this trial for the workshop. There are alternatives with good quality, too, for free.
