[PROPOSAL] Introduction & Creating Near Students DAO / Student Warriors

Hello Friends,

I am happy to be on this platform and to present my work and see how we could grow as a community.

INTRO:

I am Meena Mishra, an educator, and an award-winning author. I teach at school and also conduct workshops for students on Literature, Language, and Technology. Since 2021, we have introduced blockchain, web3, metaverse, and cryptos. I have been watching how Near Ecosystem works and would like to propose to onboard my community to get better reach, learn, and contribute to the system.

PROPOSAL:

Starting NEAR Students Community DAO / EDU Warriors

(EDU Warriors are a humble initiative of bringing experienced and selfless educators ready to give back to their profession. We are all set to send the first set of teaching aids to the schools to learn about coding, blockchain technology and boot camps)

1)These are ex-students (alumni) of various schools. We have a group of students who join in for various social causes and creative workshops. We had recently organized a technical workshop for these students at an Institute in Mumbai, wherein we had 250 students who took part and received certificates and goodies.

  1. Since 2021, we have started EDU Warriors - boot camps and workshops on web3, blockchain, and the metaverse. Last month, we conducted a workshop on Blockchain and we had over 400 students in total.

Very nice initiative. I’ll advise you to research the Near Education Grant once it launches in 2023. Best of luck.

I had a chance to conduct ERP workshop with Meena’s ex-students when I was in Mumbai. @ImpishLass Meena has been a role model and a pioneer in her field.

This is a great project and yes eventually it can be moved to Near Education (thanks @Bakaka)

Requesting the @marketingdao-council mods to have a look and give it a head start. Such projects are usually game changers. Thanks
