Please describe your proposed solution.
Between the types of proposals expected in this challenge this is one of the two directives:
> Activities to foster student Catalyst proposers and blockchain engineers
> → Increasing the number of student Catalyst proposers and blockchain engineers will lead to the development of the Cardano ecosystem in the future. Specific examples for educating them include holding seminars, creating and translating content, forming a community hub, and so on. Let's make use of your experience and position to promote student onboarding.
>
We feel that this proposal perfectly matches the description.
Jayden is a CS student and Cardano enthusiast with an existing grasp of the eUTxO model and familiarity with tools for developing on Cardano (Lucid, Aiken, etc…).
At Harmonic Laboratories he will further his experience with Cardano via hands-on mentoring, while contributing to the ecosystem through the development of open source software and infrastructure.
How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?
Alongside supporting the onboarding of a new developer to the Cardano community, this proposal will ensure that a tangible open source output is produced which actively enhances the developer and user experience on Cardano.
How do you intend to measure the success of your project?
Jayden's progression as a Cardano developer can be measured by his output, which will be public for the community to judge. This will show Jayden's development throughout the course of the internship, as well as the value of his input in the projects he will be working on at Harmonic Labs.
Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?
All the work and projects completed by Jayden will be fully open-source. Therefore, anybody can view the outputs and results on GitHub.
