**Context**

We are a team of academic specialists from [Robonomics Network](https://robonomics.network/) (which has a [parachain of the same name](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Fkusama.rpc.robonomics.network%2F#/explorer) on Kusama) led by Professor Alexander Kapitonov, one of the founders of the project.
We have set a goal to create comprehensive and illustrative educational materials for a wide audience with zero or initial knowledge of web3 technologies.

An explanation of our goals and lecture speech sample is also available on YouTube:

**Problem**

Research has shown that the existing courses dedicated to cryptocurrencies and web3, despite their sufficient elaboration, concentrate either on the financial component or are intended exclusively for developers. Courses dedicated to basic information about blockchain and web3, although they clearly explain the concept, do not give the potential user information about what values ​​and benefits he will get using decentralized applications. 

**Proposal**

Our proposal is to create a course for those who see the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem for the first time. We plan to take several parachains that solve common web2 tasks and show these cases in video lectures and supporting text materials. A feature of the course will be the integral presentation of information with demonstration of real projects and everyday examples. We want to show ordinary users how basic knowledge of technology makes their life and everyday tasks safer and more convenient. 

We plan to take several Kusama projects that solve regular web2 tasks, and show these cases in video lectures. Good candidates Statemine, Robonomics, Moonriver, Remark, Crust, Basilisk. We plan to release two variants of the course: on the Kusama mainnet and on the Rococo testnet. During the course the participants will use a combination of parachains to pass a task that will be evaluated by simple learning management system dapp.

Deliverables: YouTube video lectures, GitHub texts and source code, dapp with learning management system elements.

**Requested Amount**

The project is designed for 5 months and requests a total of 27 572,5$ (843 KSM).
 
**Full Proposal**
