Here is a snapshot of the academic/professional backgrounds of our participants:\n\nData Science - Law - Economics - Development - Innovation Policy - Design - Public Policy - Geography - Software Development - Behavioural Science - Finance - Physics - Maths -Business Development - Accountancy - Cybersecurity\n\nAs part of building our Womxn in Web 3 network, we capture our knowledge, discussions, insights and learnings on a collaborative MIRO board (https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPJwvJDA=/) and arrange workshops with female and non binary speakers to inspire participants to pursue careers in token engineering. \n\nWe recently conducted a workshop on Empowering Underrepresented Learners in Token Engineering at the recent Token Engineering Barcamp in Paris: https://youtu.be/f6vrvDp5OcQ. \n\nWe represented 1 of 3 sessions delivered by female/non-binary individuals at the event, which had a total of 14 sessions. In this session, we shed light on the barriers faced by underrepresented learners and how we design our study group sessions to combat them:\n\n1. Lack of Role Models\n\n - Arranging specific female & nb speaker sessions.\n - Finding accountability partners within the group.\n\n2. Unequal Digital Literacy\n\n- Designing an accessible/inclusive MIRO structure.\n\n3. Imposter Syndrome\n\n- Including space holding & story sharing time in sessions. \n\n- Co-writing blogs with other participants.\n\n- Using practical case studies to cater for different learner types.\n\n4. Limited Networking Opportunities\n\n- Attending conferences as a group/community.\n\n- Facilitating internship opportunities.\n\n\n**How does the project support Public Goods?**\n\nBringing more female and non-binary voices into Token Engineering will support the development and design of public goods/systems which have a more holistic impact on society. \n\nThese key systems thinking principles highlight why the gender gap impacts the design of public systems:\n\n- **Holism:** The idea that systems are more than the sum of their parts, and should be studied as a whole. This means to understand a system and the actors it serves, the design of the system should be undertaken by the range of actors who will take part. \n\n- **Reflexivity:** The recognition that the observer or designer is part of the system and can influence its behaviour. To have a male-dominated design team will only perpetuate biases in objective setting and incentive design. \n\n- **Perspectives:** The understanding that different people have different perspectives and experiences of a system, and that these perspectives can shape its behavior and outcomes.\n\n**What are the funds for?**\n\nWe are in the research and development stage of platform building. We\u2019d like to formally work on building the study group for cohort 2 and are fundraising for the following:\n\n- 3 days / 24 hours a week \n- 20 weeks (i.e. duration of the cohort Aug - Dec 2023) \n- Rate = 30 USD per hour \n\nTotal cost for 480 hours @ 30 USD p/hour = USD 14,400\n\nAt this stage of our project, we are focusing on these key milestones:\n\n*1. Womxn in Web 3 Skills Showcasing*: writing articles/conducting online speaker sessions.\n\n*2. Career blueprinting*: formalising and visualising more nuanced career blueprints for underrepresented individuals. \n\n*3. Data Collection*: collecting data on the barriers faced by underrepresented groups at different stages of building careers in token engineering.  \n\n*4. POC Development*: building a proof-of-concept for the platform\n\nWe measure success against the following outputs:\n\n*1. Womxn in Web 3 Skills Showcasing*\n- Medium blog with 20 followers. \n\n- 3 Online Events with average attendance of 20 (e.g. Twitter Spaces, Speaker Sessions)\n\n- 2 workshop or speaker sessions on TE delivered by study group participants at in-person conferences/events (e.g. hosted by likeminded projects such as CryptoFemme)\n\n*2. Career Blueprinting*\n- Visual roadmap of a TE career blueprint in infographic form.\n\n*3. Data Collection*\n- Short report on barriers faced by cohort 2 participants in completing TE Fundamentals.\n\n*4. POC Development*\n- Platform Objectives\n- Resources Needed\n- Timeline for development\n- Success criteria\n\nIf we don\u2019t reach this fundraising goal, we will continue to run the study group and build our community. We will aim to focus on activities 2 and 3. \n\nSpecifically, we will aim to gather data on:\n\n- barriers faced with completing the course\n- career trajectories being explored by different womxn in web 3. \n- barriers faced with choosing or following different career trajectories. \n\n**Who is in our team?**\n\nWe are a diverse team from the UK, Germany and Nigeria. We connected over a passion for increasing representation in the space. We bring fresh perspectives from fields of Psychology, Learning and Ecosystem Design, Systems Innovation, Software Development, and Ethical AI. \n\nYou can check us out online:\n\n- Madhuri Rahman -  https://www.linkedin.com/in/madhuri-rahman - @MadhuriRahman\n\n- Blessing Emah - https://www.linkedin.com/in/blessingemah - @TheblessingEmah\n\n- Lena Hierzi - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lena-hierzi-8221151ab - @Gigahierz\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "MadhuriRahman"}, "recipient": "0xa1f01e5cc9562ed061b0e3dddd3e82ef69a1cebd"}}
