Solana Workshops: Empowering the Next Generation of Developers
Over the past year, the developer relations team at the Solana Foundation has been actively involved in running workshops around the world to educate students, professionals, and the next generation of Solana builders about the Solana blockchain.
Workshop Objectives
- Help attendees gain a comprehensive understanding of the Solana blockchain.
- Illustrate the various ways the Solana blockchain can be utilized.
- Provide training on how to build on Solana.
Despite the positive impact of these workshops, the number of developer team educators has been a limiting factor. To address this challenge, the Solana Foundation Developer Relations team is now decentralizing the workshops by providing training on how to conduct them.
Conducting Solana Workshops: A Decentralized Approach
The Solana Foundation Developer Relations team is hosting a series of sessions on how to conduct Solana workshops during the week of August 14. These sessions will cover all aspects of workshop setup, student gathering, hosting, and community cultivation. Attendees will learn how to navigate teaching both physical and virtual workshops, managing diverse skill levels, and preparing for effective presentations.
