Talking about decentralized identity with @blackgirlbytes live rn. Say 👋 hi!

[Eric Chung @ericwchung]

Nearly all students in my blockchain class this semester started with no wallet, no onchain activity, zero experience besides their curiosity and a high-level conceptual understanding of crypto.

In the last month, they setup their @MetaMask/@Rabby_io wallets, minted their first @poapxyz NFTs, are submitting biweekly standups through token-gated forms with @deformapp, and registering for our upcoming USC blockchain conference with @heirloom_io VCs to access gated IRL experiences.

Crypto is no longer an abstract topic for my students. It was made tangible through experiential learning elements integrated intentionally into the curriculum. After clicking some buttons, they feel more confident in navigating crypto and most importantly, inspired to participate, contribute and ultimately become the next leaders of our industry.

I encourage my fellow educators to put in the extra effort to bridge the gap between abstract and concrete for your students (as appropriate). Crypto UX is decent enough now to be able to walk through real examples for experiential learning in a classroom context. If you're an educator or uni admin (or project that wants to get involved), my DMs are open - I'm happy to be a resource and share strategies for elevating experiential learning around crypto topics.

Tomorrow, @jvedi and I will be having a casual chat with @blackgirlbytes about decentralized identity, web3, startup culture, and (knowing us) probably a lot of other fun stuff. Join us: https://t.co/8EALzynMCo

Breaking News: The Justice Department has opened an antitrust investigation into the owner of Ticketmaster, whose sale of Taylor Swift tickets descended into chaos this week, focused on whether Live Nation has abused its power over the live music industry. https://t.co/bNAWGXhYyU

Everyone just F5 and Cmd-R as fast as you can to end it already.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

This is VERY interesting — imagine if every decision-maker in YOUR city, elected or appointed, was required to experience just a small taste of what it’s like to be a bike-rider on badly designed, unsafe (aka typical) roads?
