Description

**Why Vote YES for this Proposal?** * Position Decentraland as a trailblazer in the future of education, engaging student builders and new audiences to enhance brand recognition * Ensure community access and contributions through the open-source nature of the project * Foster a sense of ownership and creativity among students by utilizing Decentraland Worlds Beta, delivering dozens of new experiences being built * Share learnings from the hackathon in a comprehensive report for the community's benefit **Challenge Description - Trailblazing Education in Decentraland** The challenge is to craft a mini 3D showroom that envisions the future of campus life in Decentraland, featuring immersive visuals, videos, and 3D content. This initiative aims to bolster collaboration between universities, students, and upcoming Decentraland educational ventures. To foster community engagement and ownership, a voting mechanism (Snapshot) will be implemented for students to select their favorite Worlds. The initiative shares Decentraland's commitment to open-source principles and seeks to provide all students with free access to test ideas and build within Decentraland thru complimentary access to Decentraland Worlds. The seasoned Adventure Club team delivers five days of hands-on mentorship for a powerful learning experience and valuable outcomes. **Tech Being Used** Students will gain hands-on experience developing within the Decentraland Builder and sharing creations within Decentraland Worlds Beta. While the emphasis of learning will focus on the more accessible non-coding aspects of the Decentraland Builder environment, students with some coding experience will have the opportunity to experiment with the latest Decentraland tools such as the Decentraland Editor where students will become familiar with creating, debugging, and publishing scenes within Decentraland Worlds. Additionally, students will explore: * The latest SDK 7 to gain an introduction to the latest features. * How to manage multiple projects via workspaces and code versioning via Github. * Using debugging tools such as scene stats to form an intuition about scene performance and user experience. * Sharing Learnings and Results **Bridg3 Hackathon Overview** The month-long hackathon has leading industry experts as mentors and partners such as the City of Tampere and YLE. The finals will be held during Tampere Smart City Week, attracting 2,800+ guests from 20+ countries. YLE as our partner will provide free nationwide media coverage, showcasing the best of Decentraland Worlds and inspiring the Web2 audience. This will provide Decentraland with valuable marketing exposure. As TampereES co-organizes the hackathon, we ensure it focuses on creating a lasting impact and fostering a thriving student community in Decentraland.
