Committed to driving innovation and building stronger crypto communities, aelf is launching several initiatives this year to achieve these goals. Among these initiatives is an exciting program designed to cultivate innovation among students.

The Campus Outreach Program aims to engage universities and educational institutions worldwide through collaboration with student groups, offering hands-on blockchain experience and driving innovation in the field. This program is structured around four program initiatives, each tailored to cultivate interest, education, and participation in the aelf ecosystem. Through this program, aelf aims to not only build a strong university presence but also recruit students to the Ambassadors Network Program.

Work with aelf to co-organise events and workshops, crafting an exciting and immersive program schedule to elevate the engagement of your current members, providing a rich and rewarding experience, while also attracting new members to join your vibrant community! Through the Campus Outreach Program initiatives, students with promising projects have the opportunity to turn their aspirations into reality and bring their work to life.

Who is it for?

We aim to empower students across all disciplines to nurture their abilities to launch and kickstart their own blockchain projects.

Our 4 Key Program Initiatives

1. Blockchain AESSENTIALS Education Series

The Blockchain AESSENTIALS Education Series is designed as an accessible gateway into the intricate world of blockchain for enthusiasts and learners. It serves as a foundational course, aimed at breaking down the complexities of blockchain into understandable segments to equip students with the confidence and understanding needed to innovate within the blockchain space. Through this blockchain education series, we're committed to providing students with the necessary guidance and support to ensure a strong foundation in blockchain.

2. Ideathons

The second key initiative is Ideathons – a dynamic platform where students can showcase their creativity and problem-solving skills. In Ideathons, we throw out some real-world challenges and ask students to come up with innovative solutions. The best ideas get to go head-to-head in a business pitch competition, where students can show off their ideas to a panel of judges. Not only do participants gain valuable experience in pitching their ideas, but they also stand a chance to win exciting prizes. Ideathons are a fun and rewarding part of our Campus Outreach Program, encouraging creativity, teamwork, and entrepreneurial thinking among students.

3. Developer Workshops

Another core initiative of our Campus Outreach Program is our Developer Workshops. These sessions are all about getting hands-on and diving into the world of blockchain development in a fun and interactive way. Students get the chance to learn practical skills like creating tokens, integrating wallets, and deploying smart contracts. It's all about equipping students with the tools they need to dive into blockchain tech and unleash their creativity. So, if you're ready to get students to roll up their sleeves and get coding, our Developer Workshops would be a key highlight!

4. Hackathons

Lastly, Hackathons stand as a key initiative for students who have undergone the previous 3 initiatives. Here's the rundown: we present students with real-world problem statements, tasking them with developing proof-of-concepts (POCs) in response. Following the submission phase, the cream of the crop advances to demo day, offering participants the opportunity to showcase their solutions and compete for coveted prizes. Hackathons serve as a platform for students to apply their technical expertise, collaborate with peers, and demonstrate their innovative capabilities.
