Please describe your proposed solution.
About my school:
Grenoble Ecole de Management is one of the most influential business schools in France, it has a lot of International business students that can easily find an opportunity into blockchain technology. The students also have a lot of relations in the other French Business schools which can get the advertising in the universities easier.
ALOHA is a student association at The Grenoble Ecole de Management association (France) and includes 80 students, in France. The purpose of this association is to integrate the international students of the school to the French system and language. Moreover, the goal is to promote the different cultures to the other students of the school, for example we can organize a Latin American dinner in a restaurant.
Our association started 67 years ago and has a lot of influence with the other students and the school administration. 1800 students were part of the association through the years.
ALOHA is one of about 20 student associations in the school, and our future plan is to expand within the different associations and make The Grenoble Ecole de Management an example for students associations onboarded to Cardano.
The association have skilled members with certain talents and specialties and roles in the association, for example there is the treasury, the communication role or event organizers. This permits to have a well organized, homogeneous and professional group with good potential to come up with impactful projects.
The plan is to teach the ALOHA association about Cardano and Catalyst, then to help them find some business ideas that could be useful for Cardano and Catalyst, these ideas would then be share to the engineers of Cardano who will choose who they can do a proposal with.
All the ideas will be supervised before being sent to the engineers and I will help the students to get the best impact possible.
Some community people can also add some feedback :
- Yoram Ben Zvi (Community member, part of Cardano4Climate, funded proposer in previous funds)
- Razali Samusudin(Community member, part of the F8 : Film + Media challenge team, funded proposer in previous funds, Cardano4Climate, Sustainable ADA)
- Cole Bartlett (Community member, part of the F8 : Film + Media challenge team, funded proposer in previous funds, Cardano4Climate, Sustainable ADA)
- Nick Mason (Part of the community, Proofspace, funded proposals in previous funds)
We will contact the maximum of engineers from Cardano, we will find them with the help of Gimbalabs (We will share the ideas on the Gimbalabs playground where we will get the feedback)(<https://www.gimbalabs.com/gimbalgrid>).
We will also share the ideas on the Gimbalabs playground where we will get the feedback as well as in a catalyst after townhall slot to discuss with the community about the different ideas.
Why am I interested in Cardano ?
I know Cardano for about a year now, but I have really been active for fund 9 and I am now starting to understand the opportunity that Cardano can give to change the world, my goal is now to educate students, since I am a student myself, and in my opinion blockchain will be fully implemented in our society, I am concerned about the lack of knowledge that students have in this area.
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
The challenge main goal is to permit to students to connect with engineers in order for them to put their projects in place, this is exactly what we aim for, we want to teach Cardano to students and give them the possibility to be innovative and connect them with engineer community. This proposal will allow some students, who will be the main actors in the Blockchain in the future, to integrate this system.
The success of the proposal fits perfectly the success given by the challenge, which is increasing the exposure of the students ideas, these can expect an easier funding and can be scouted by engineers, this could also be an awesome opportunity for the students to get to know Cardano and Catalyst.
What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
The students do not give relevant and interesting ideas - teaching them the best way possible about Cardano and to supervise them so they give the best possible ideas.
The students will not be motivated to work with Cardano - By teaching them about Cardano and Catalyst, we will promote is and will make them understand the opportunity they have with Cardano. We will also explain that through catalyst they will be able to get initial founding which is very attractive to students
