Its purpose is to discover, nurture, and elevate local talents in the field of emerging technologies, with a special focus on blockchain, web3, and Regenerative Finance (ReFi). This school combines advanced technical knowledge, creative innovation, and healthy competition, using the vibrant setting of Salvador as a hub for the development of blockchain technology skills with significant socio-environmental impact.\n\nObjectives:\n\n- Cultivate a collaborative and well-equipped environment to attract and empower technology and programming enthusiasts.\n- Implement an ongoing training program, preparing participants for national and international hackathon competitions.\n- Encourage the spirit of innovation and problem-solving through regular events, workshops, and mentoring sessions.\n- Build strategic partnerships that provide resources, visibility, and opportunities for participants.\n\nCommunity Engagement: The school aims to engage participants of various skill levels, with special attention to the involvement of local youth. Our goal is to democratize access to technological education, breaking down barriers and fostering a sense of belonging and pride in the local community.\n\nProject Description for Quadratic Funding: This project seeks to promote an innovative curriculum in ReFi, teaching through hackathons. With the mission to educate and empower individuals in sustainable finance and blockchain technology, our practical approach involves solving real-world problems in regenerative finance.\n\nProject KPIs:\n\n- Event Participation: Number of participants in each hackathon.\n- Skill Development: Evaluation of knowledge gain by participants after events.\n- Implemented Projects: Quantity of projects or prototypes developed that are carried forward.\n- Formed Partnerships: Number of partnerships with sector entities and community.\n- Funding and Sustainability: Amount of funding obtained and budget efficiency.\n- Long-Term Impact: Tracking the professional trajectory of participants and success stories.\n\nThe Hackathon School CriptoBahia, in collaboration with GreenPill Brazil, represents an innovative and regenerative approach to teaching emerging technologies and regenerative finance in Brazil and Latin America. Through carefully designed hackathons, we challenge participants to tackle real-world problems, encouraging them to develop sustainable and innovative solutions. These events are enriched with workshops, lectures, and mentoring sessions, providing a comprehensive and practical learning experience.\n\nComplementing this approach, the school offers a robust mix of mentorships, group studies, and practical team experiences. This method not only deepens the technical knowledge of the participants but also actively involves them in projects that have a positive environmental impact in Bahia and Northeast Brazil. At the heart of CriptoBahia is a commitment to excellence and innovation, acting as a catalyst for sustainable local development.\n\nThe school's focus goes beyond technical teaching; it aims to inspire and empower new generations to refine their talents in technology and contribute to socio-environmental regeneration. By integrating these elements, the Hackathon School CriptoBahia is not just a learning center, but a movement that, together with GreenPill, fosters a more sustainable and innovative future.\n\nOrigin of CriptoBahia and Support from Optimism via the Blockchain na Escola Project.\n\nThe web3 workshops conducted by the Blockchain na Escola project in Bahia in 2023 generated significant interest, leading a group of people to form a space for innovation and collaboration. This laid the foundations for the emergence of CriptoBahia. Recognizing the initiative and potential of CriptoBahia, the Blockchain na Escola project allocated resources in OP, the cryptocurrency of Optimism, to help structure and support the development of CriptoBahia as part of the process.\nThe support from Optimism was essential for the evolution of CriptoBahia, enabling its integration into the blockchain ecosystem and the development of educational materials about Optimism's technology. Currently, CriptoBahia is expanding its activities, including the creation of a group focused on Hackathons that participates in national and international hackathons, aiming to create innovative products. Blockchain na Escola continues to be a strategic partner, supporting the educational formation of the group. CriptoBahia is currently expanding its activities and is working on the creation of a School focused on Hackathons, where participants learn through a regenerative curriculum. Blockchain na Escola remains a strategic partner, supporting the educational formation of the CriptoBahia Hackathon School.\n\nPresence on Social Media and Our Participation in the Gitcoin Round of Greenpill Network X Octant\n\nOur vibrant community is evident across multiple digital channels\u2014including WhatsApp, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and CharmeVerse\u2014where we promote discussions, share knowledge, and mobilize actions around environmental and technological issues. Moreover, our affiliation with Greenpill Brasil as a local chapter in Bahia extends our reach and reinforces our mission to promote regenerative practices through\ntechnology. \nThis collaboration enables us to participate in a global network dedicated to exporting regenerative digital infrastructure, benefiting from enhanced resources, knowledge, and support. Recently, our participation in the community support round of Greenpill Network X Octant on Gitcoin marked a significant milestone for CriptoBahia. We managed to mobilize contributors who, by investing in our project, demonstrated the trust and support of the global community for our initiatives. This quadratic funding, conducted on the Optimism infrastructure, reaffirms our commitment to transparency, innovation, and collective action, allowing us to advance in our regenerative and educational projects.\n\nConclusion and Future Vision\n\nOur previous participation in the Greenpill Network X Octant community support round, facilitated through the Gitcoin platform, was a critical milestone for CriptoBahia. By mobilizing 28 contributors and securing essential funding through a 10 ETH matching pool, we demonstrated not just the viability but the urgent need for our project within the global community. This experience reinforced the effectiveness of our innovative and regenerative approach, proving that, with adequate support, we can make significant strides in technological development and social inclusion.\nThe success we achieved encourages us to continue and expand our efforts. In this new round on Gitcoin, we seek not just to repeat, but to surpass our previous achievements, with a renewed focus on extending our impact and reaching even more young people and technology enthusiasts in our community. With ongoing support from Greenpill Brasil and strategic use of the Optimism infrastructure, CriptoBahia is well-positioned to lead the way in education on emerging technologies and regenerative finances.\nOur journey so far reaffirms our commitment to transparency, innovation, and collective action. We are excited to see how new support and resources will enable us to further advance our educational and regenerative goals, establishing a vibrant example of the potential of technology and community collaboration to promote environmental sustainability and economic development.\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "CriptoBahia", "projectTwitter": "bahiacripto"}
