The Why and the how
We provide an applied Web3 introductory course, through which students will set up a DAO and run a proposal process with the goal of increasing their influence in the school’s governance system.
Further benefits would include:
  • Ideation and creation of inter-school projects
  • Implementation of high impact projects within the local community
  • Involvement of other categories of stakeholders within the governance process

  1. Empowerment over process of governing their school.
    1. Communication of ideas
    2. Debating
    3. Proposing
    4. Voting
    5. Communicating to school leadership demands/needs
  1. Ownership of:
    1. Of the org
    2. Of the data produced

    4. Governance process
  1. Opportunity
    1. Learning to use cutting edge tech that aims to make a difference in students lives
    2. Entrepreneurial opportunities for students to design and establish sub-DAOs to tackle student/community needs via student run small businesses
Differentiating features:
  1. Decentralisation
  1. Resistance to censorship and oppression (immutability)
  1. Privacy
  1. Transparent decision making (students taking a lead, showing an example to management)
  1. Community - Learn from this history and also from others using the system (blockchain immutability) - global library of ways to address common themes
  1. Leading edge governance tech - Ability to trial and choose from many different voting approaches, one man one vote, quadratic voting, etc
  1. Not for profit and open source
The Product:
  1. Ability to create a customizable modular/composable DAOs - Blockchain
  1. Ability to mint NFTs, may or may not be soul bound
  1. Ability to gate access based on NFT
  1. Device agnostic single app
  1. Interconnector hub for different schools to communicate
  1. Educational programs (Learning Library, in person/group training, events, support, gamification, video courses, peer learning groups, certifications)
User stories:
Who: Students (possibly teachers or even parents)
What: DAO Governance
Why: Empowerment
Students will learn how to set up a DAO, make and vote on proposals to effect change in their school/communities, thus empowering them to learn and master self-governance
Students will be able to learn about cutting edge web3 technology so that they can set up a decentralized governance system for their school and be empowered in the decision making process of the school (and eventually their community) while using a tool that guarantees full ownership of the whole process
Reasons/Goals for project:
  1. Educate - teach kids/teachers/parents about web 3 and DAO’s
    1. Ultimately to have as an elective in a class room ie. politics, economics classes
  1. Give students and teachers an interest in self governance through the use of DAO tech
    1. Self-organise
    2. Potential to gain agency
    3. Communicate as one voice with school management
    4. Learn how to debate proposals
    5. Develope error culture
  1. Decentralise decision-making at local level to strengthen current governance systems, by increasing participation
