3. Implement regular meet ups to engage developers: This will be the phase where we scale-up our community of developers and entrepreneurs, leading up to the final curriculum development and also selection for our Wada developer team. The subjects we plan to teach are the following: Haskell, Plutus, Elm, Distributed Ledger Tecnologies (DLT), Cardano blockchain, Self Soveireign Identity (SSI) & Decentralised identity (DID), and Software Architecture and implementation. The meetups will be run in parallel to both the trainings and Hackathon activities.

• Discord server Wada Devs set-up (complete)
• First round of invites for developers and entrepreneurs (In progress …)
• Meet up launch (09 December)

4. Hackathon sessions. We plan on providing regular mini courses leading up to our monthly or bi-monthly hackathon sessions (with mini prizes) in order to spark deep interest in Cardano and Plutus. (Starting end of January…)

• Monthly / Bi-monthly hackathon sessions

• Mini prize packages (through fun on-chain games and online live coding challenges using Code Pad)

• Offer mini courses leading up to Hackathon sessions

• Short videos to make more easily digestible content around specific concepts

• Quick checks/quizzes following videos

5. Define and create a curriculum and content for our developer training program. The meet ups will give us the perfect ground to collect ideas making sure we are connecting developers, entrepreneurs, and local communities to ensure the mental model of our solutions make sense within the local context. (Starting 15 May)

• Define clear objectives / goals
• Define requirements for the curriculum
• Define and create learning content

6. Launch program across Wada Hubs (completion of the program will include an examination and a Wada endorsed certification) (September 2022)

• Formalize developer on-boarding for the first course launch
• Elaborate a schedule and offer parallel campaigns to launch curriculum
• Follow the schedule, evaluate participants, deliver certificates

7. Expansion: Wada's main activity consists of outreach and helping proposers through the submission process. The support we provide needs to have a pathway from funding projects to their implementation. Wada intends to be at that conjunction having our developers equipped to design and implement solutions on Cardano so that we can seamlessly connect funded projects to developers.
