2. University Workshop Program:
• Conducting workshops across 15 universities in Northern, Western, and Southern India
• 4-hour intensive sessions covering Polkadot fundamentals, development, and practical applications
• Hands-on wallet creation and interactive learning experiences
• Content creation contests with prizes totaling $200 USD per university
3. Community Building:
• Establishing dedicated social media presence for Namaste Polkadot
• Organizing content creation contests to encourage user-generated content
• Building sustainable university connections for long-term engagement
• Regular ecosystem updates and community engagement activities
Key Success Metrics:
• Target of 250k+ impressions across platforms
• 3% engagement rate
• 300+ participant-generated posts
• 60+ wallet creations per university
• 80% workshop attendance rate
The initiative addresses the significant gap in multilingual blockchain education in India, which ranks 1st in the 2024 Global Crypto Adoption Index, Chainalysis reports (https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/2024-global-crypto-adoption-index/#index-takeaways). This proposal leverages India’s strong enthusiasm for emerging technologies while making Polkadot education more accessible to non-English speaking audiences.
