Welcome! We’re glad you’re interested in applying for CardanOx’s inaugural Summer Scholarship Programme😊. You’ll find all the information you need here, but feel free to reach out to us on discord should you have any queries!
Here’s an overview:
Familiarity with Haskell and Plutus, the smart contract programming language for Cardano
Experience using developer tools and building decentralized applications (dapps) on Cardano
Engage with peers in a friendly developer learning community on Cardano
$400 in Stipend! (or more, depending on number of qualified applicants)
Experience with programming. Experience with Haskell is a bonus but not required
Basic level of knowledge on Blockchain Technology and Cardano. Do apply even if you don’t have these yet, we’ll provide a crash course!
Eagerness to learn and engage with the Cardano community 😊
Self-paced
Project-Based
Minimum of 100h in total
Starts on July 18th
We’ll be working with Gimbalabs, a friendly developer learning community on Cardano to offer a self-paced, project-based-learning course on building with Plutus.
<aside> ☕ From the Gimbalabs team: The course is called Plutus Project-Based Learning, but our goals extend beyond just learning Plutus. We want to help you understand why Plutus exists, what it can and can't do, and how it is currently used within a full development stack that puts real use and utility in the hands of end-users.
We will build real projects on Cardano Testnet, and you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the still growing Cardano ecosystem of "Distributed Applications" or DApps.
</aside>
You will be a part of the second cohort of the Plutus Project-Based Learning Programme and the Gimbalab’s team is currently working on improving the content and structure of the course. For reference, the first cohort ran for 10 weeks and the expected commitment was about 10h per week.
We from CardanOx encourage to form study groups and work together on each week’s project, both with your fellow peers and also with the wider Gimbalabs community. At the end of the course, we’d highly encourage you to take part in Project Catalyst with an idea of your own, or join someone else’s team!
To get the full $400 stipend, you MUST do the following:
