These NFTs are uniquely tied to the individual, ensuring the authenticity and credibility of their achievements.\n\nAdditionally, our project encourages participants to contribute to open-source projects, enabling them to gain hands-on experience and practical knowledge of Web3 technologies. As they work on these projects, graduates can use their soulbound NFTs to build and enhance their online reputations by providing proof of work. This evidence-based approach to reputation building showcases the individual's expertise, dedication, and passion for the field, making them more attractive to potential employers and collaborators.\n\nIn essence, our project not only aligns with the Community & Education round eligibility criteria by promoting innovation, inclusivity, and growth within the African tech community but also leverages the potential of NFTs to empower graduates in building their online reputations.
