Gamechanger: Education on Andamio and Work Courses

Please describe your proposed solution

Gamechanger stands out among wallets as a revolutionary communication interface with the blockchain. The dApp connector, a cornerstone of Gamechanger's innovation, has undergone years of meticulous development, reaching an advanced stage of maturity.

This wallet streamlines transaction creation through an effortless process leveraging the JSON data format. With extensive client side backend functionality, Gamechanger empowers users to interact with the Cardano blockchain seamlessly, catering to both basic and advanced needs without the burden of managing personal backends.

Scope of the Proposal:

Our proposal centers on crafting a project-based learning experience designed to prioritize hands-on engagement, ensuring participants acquire practical skills essential for real-world contributions. In this proposal we have the opportunity to work with two platforms. Andamio and Work Courses. Each with their own unique and powerful approach of providing education. This will allow for a maximum of engagement to as wide an audience as possible. As the largest body of work is creating the content. We intend to build in such a way that it is easily adapted to both platforms.

The expertise of the Gamechanger team, particularly in the development of Gamechanger and the dApp connector, will be pivotal in shaping this learning experience.

Technical Implementation:

Andamio:

The core technology driving this initiative has evolved through four iterations of Gimbalabs Plutus PBL, dating back to 2001. These iterations have offered invaluable insights into engaging students in skill development conducive to significant contributions to real-world projects. Leveraging version 5 of Gimbalabs Plutus PBL, also known as "Andamio," this platform serves as both a learning and contribution management system. By leveraging the Cardano blockchain, Andamio ensures non-custodial record-keeping of learning and contributions, facilitating collaboration among organizations and contributors. An example of Andamio's contribution-management platform is live on Mainnet here, and further information can be found in the Andamio whitepaper (https://www.andamio.io/about)

Work courses:

Work Courses is transforming the educational landscape with its innovative Web3 capabilities. As a Cardano-powered Learn-to-Earn LMS platform, Work Courses is not just battle-tested; it's a game-changer. Our platform has attracted renowned content creators who have released over 100 courses—both paid and free—that have caught the attention of major organizations like the Cardano Foundation.

Work Courses features a highly intuitive interface, with neatly organized courses and instructor categories, facilitating easy navigation. The team has done an excellent job creating a platform that mirrors the familiarity of Web2 while incorporating cutting-edge Web3 technology. This design targets both experienced users and newcomers to the Web3 environment, ensuring a smooth transition for all.

Through this proposal, we aim to foster a dynamic learning environment where participants can acquire tangible skills while making meaningful contributions to real-world projects, supported by a robust infrastructure and guided by the expertise of the Gamechanger team.

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Allowing for wider adoption of the Gamechanger dApp connection will positively impact the Cardano ecosystem. Allowing complex transactions to be within reach of a much larger developer pool. This proposal will also provide a positive impact on Cardano's leading EdTech platform, Andamio and Work.Courses.

Value to Cardano:

Additional Developers familiar with the Gamechanger domain specific language, GCScript. This proposal also generates value for the LMS platforms. The proposal will also create additional transactions which will contribute to the treasury.

Measuring Impact:

We will be able to measure this impact by viewing the enroll and participation in the courses and also by the increased activity of developers building with Gamechanger Wallet.

Sharing Outputs and Opportunities:

These will be shared in multiple ways including but not limited to; milestone reporting and proof of achievement, through organic word of mouth marketing from participants, and through organic marketing on social media.
