The problem Edu-Chain.⌐◨-◨ solves

Lack of access to education:
Edu-Chain seeks to solve this challenge through in-person sessions (IRL), offering theoretical and practical knowledge at a basic level, creating community and adoption at the same time.

Value proposition offered by Edu-Chain.⌐◨-◨ :

Ease of access to information: It offers an educational scheme where complex concepts are explained in a clear and accessible way, facilitating the understanding and adoption of technology.

Practical education: Hands-on sessions allow participants to experiment directly with blockchain, reducing the learning curve and increasing confidence in its use.

Networking and community building: By encouraging participation in events and meetings, Edu-Chain helps users build a network of contacts with similar interests, improving collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Progressive learning approach: The phased structure allows for gradual learning, ensuring that participants fully understand the basics before moving on to more complex topics.

Promoting security: Through education, users learn best practices to protect their digital assets and conduct secure transactions, reducing the risk of errors and fraud.

Challenges I ran into

Lack of trust:
Due to pyramid scams on social networks, people were distrustful when mentioning Bitcoin that they associate with cryptocurrencies.

Solution:
It was clarified that we focus on educating about the underlying technology of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, such as blockchain and their inherent transparency and security, clearly differentiating them from fraudulent schemes.

Schedule availability:
Many Edu-Chain participants are work-active, which created a challenge in terms of schedule availability to attend the educational sessions.

Solution:
We established communication channels (WhatsApp and Telegram) where voting was done to select the most suitable time for the majority, resulting in the time between 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm being the most appropriate.
