Disruptors:
The low down
Opportunity is the name of the game.
Do you have big plans for your future?
Disruptors gives you the knowledge, connections and support needed to access global opportunities.
The world is changing fast and traditional education systems and models can’t keep up.
There are nowhere near enough people who can teach our young people the Web3 digital skills they need to succeed in their careers or achieve their life goals.
Disruptors is a Web3 community that gives young people an opportunity to change their world through learning and creating tech together.
We use Web3 methods to incentivise members to learn new skills, collaborate, support each other and give back.
Digital skills encompass so many areas of our modern lives and Disruptors offers a wide range of learning pathways that can be customised to members’ own goals and interests.
The learning opportunities at launch will include:
- Web3 for businesses and communities
- UX design
- Digital entrepreneurship & sustainable business models
- Creating digital art with HTML and CSS
- 3D graphics and animation
- Design thinking & innovation
- AI tools for business
- Media production & digital communication strategy
- Social impact through education and technology
- Coding for Web3
- And more...
A range of learning options will be available for members to choose from — depending on the way they like to learn
- Online, live workshops — recorded and viewable for any members who missed a session or prefer to learn this way
- Self-directed learning to participate in challenges and competitions
- Group projects to design, develop and deliver digital products and services
- Attend talks with international speakers sharing their knowledge and experience
- A lively community space with learning resources and support
There are so many benefits that we can’t reasonably list them all here. Here are just some of the main benefits:
- Free workshops to learn valuable, Web3 digital skills
- U Cubed certificates to demonstrate your experience and abilities to employers or business clients
- New friends from across the world who are also excited by tech and its ability to help us change the world
- Opportunities to learn more about your strengths and interests, perhaps even your life’s purpose!
- Fun tech projects to work on that actually go live and help people
- Exercise and training for your brain and soft skills with weekly challenges and competitions
- The list goes on…
There are no expectations, only opportunities 🙂 With Disruptors, members get out what they put in!
Members choose learning pathways and tasks according to their own strengths and interests.
In Disruptors, members are free to explore their talents and abilities while engaging in meaningful projects and discovering the world of Web3.
