Alessandro: computer science + automotive Matthew: junior Sara: senior, wanted to help dr DAM to have an impact in the world, choir, sing and dance, people work together Spencer: senior, business and entrepreneurship. Distributed education club of America. DECA program. Tight community of people who want to get a degree in their business, or learn entrepreneurship. They go to conferences. Plays violin Asan: interested in helping dr. DAM, she knows a little about crypto and nft.
Concept of community:
- Alessandro: there is a city council ; small clubs (science community and car community)
- There's not a unified community in the school.
- Samar: reach out to the Turkish embassy (active in
- Decisions made by the school council:
- Student council form + you can't communicate. No unified student body.
What would you like to change
- Matthew: The way people communicate (they only approve what they want to approve)
- Samar: people in school don't want to change things + they want to innovate
- Choir program: they only fund things that are beneficials to the school, they have to raise all the their own funds
- Discord servers on the side. They blocked a Discord server School accepts initiatives but they don't really support them
Aaronβs Notes
- My key takeaways
- We need a slide deck, particularly for "what we do" = Problem > Solution, How it works.
- We should have a section of the deck specifically for directing them to describe the kinds of things they would like to change / what they can use our software for.
- We need to tighten up our message and set clear expectations. They are really excited to "make an impact" and "change the world", but I don't know if they really understand the tech and how it will help them.
- I feel we missed or at least didn't nail some of the most important points: What is our mission. What we want to provide for you. What we want to get from you. Next steps.
- Introductions
- Sara mentioned interest "a technology that is going to change the world". A picture into how the teacher sold it to the students.
- Spencer - apart of "DECA" (Distributive Education Clubs of America) - passion for entrepreneurship. Could this be a channel? https://www.deca.org/
- LA school district is the 2nd largest in the country, Granada is the largest in LA (true?) ~5k students. https://www.ghctk12.com/admissions/campus-tour
- Student body governance
- ASB elections are a popularity contest, no debates. You really only hear about ASB during morning announcements. They are a big of a closed group, not really open to the voices of the student body.
- My thought - this is a charter school, it has a CEO, it's a for profit school - I have a feeling they may not like the idea of allowing tech that enables the student body to strong arm them into change.
- Fundraising for Promoting our SOs (What are SOS?)
- Student tech stack
- Blocking discord - why? Goguardian installed on students computers.
- Chrome books - every student is issued a laptop
- Personal devices - can't have phone out, deans drive golf carts around to enforce
- Samar - this type of enforcement culture is influencing students identity
- Security will look the other way with students they favor
- Controversies and desired change
- Went on a tangent about detention, and other controversial topics at the school. Not bad as it helps us create some examples of what a DAO could help with, and the students were happy to express their opinions and feelings about it. Took about 20 minutes of the call.
- Web3 explanation
- Needs some help and a slide deck
- I feel like we lost them a little during this section. At least 3 of them are looking at their phones and pretending to pay attention.
- Questions and comments from web 3 explanation
- We can rehearse and tighten up our answers to questions like "is it going to be complex or more difficult than web 2.0". The answer should be clear and concise - something like, it's going to be NEW, but it's going to be intuitive - we want your expertise and feedback to make sure the experience is great and adoption is high.
- Janie message - I would also like students to benefit from the value of their own academic work - for example, many of my students write great essays and come up with highly creative solutions to problems I present in class - they should be rewarded if I share their work with other teachers to use as student work samples or teaching materials. We need student digital wallets for that.
- Cyber bullying could be a risk either way, they know who I am, they bully me for speaking up, if everyone is anonymous, anyone can bully without accountability.
- The students question if it just morphs into another popularity contest - you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.
