The Polkadot Blockchain Academy is an intensive academic program teaching Blockchain, Substrate and Polkadot to talented developers.
This program aims at:
- Improving our core dev hiring pipeline in both quantity and quality of candidates
- Seeding the industry with Substrate knowledge and advocates
- Building a surplus of devs for lesser product prototyping if they’re not hired out
- Improving our non-dev onboarding processes
Selected through an admission process, candidates will receive an intensive education taught by a mix of professionals from Parity, Web3 and some visiting professors.
We are launching the first wave this Summer in the UK with a target of 50 students before growing to three in-person waves of 100 students each in rotating geographies.
| Cohort | Location | Dates |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cambridge | TBD |
