What do we want to achieve/main goals for 1st MVP:

Intro:
- THE ISSUE AND THE HISTORY Frame the issues web3 is trying to solve:
- Centralization and power structures in today’s society (censorship and trust?)
- Rent takers and extraction focused business models ie. Banks and finance, big tech and data monopolies/oligopolies
- Ownership of capital and management of the commons
- History:

- 2008/9 financial crises
- THE TECH Brief intro to tech:
- Web 1, Web 2, Web 3 Explaination. What is web3. What is a token (incentive system)
- Blockchain, what is it, how does it work
- BTC - sound money
- Eth and smart contracts
- Decentralization of networks
- Security:
- Trust in a trust-less environment, don’t trust….verify
- Proof-of-work and proof-of-stake brief description and features
- Layer 1’s and 2’s meaning and applications
- Interacting with web3:
- Private and public key
- Wallets (see above)
- Safety measures
- FINAL ACTIVITY: create your own wallet, sending and receiving tokens.
- VALUES Web 3:
- Web3 values:
- Decentralization
- Ownership
- Transparency
- Censorship resistant
- DAOS Tokenomics (better to include in web3 section?), networks and communities :
- Communities and networks -
- Achieving goals together
- Intro to DAO’s - why, how, whats missing?
- Intro to incentive structures - tokenomics and how to use these to achieve a networks goals
- Use cases
- BTC
- Eth
- Defi (RSR/MakerDAO) and Refi (
- Metaverse
- Tokenised assets
- I THINK WE NEED A MODULE ON GOVERNANCE
- Group project:
- Either as one group or form different groups
- Form a DAO
- Make a proposal, either as one group or separate proposals. Proposals must meet the following (how to build a proposal):
- Have a clear objective that benefits either the student body or the local community
- Intro / Who we are
- Web3 (Technical)
- What is blockchain (brief of tech that enabled BTC from first types of encryption to DigiCash)
- Ethereum and the birth of Smart Contracts
- Different types of blockchains: proof of work and proof of stake
- Fungible and non fungible tokens (erc-20, NFT, Soul Bound)
- Creating a web3 identity (create a wallet, private and public keys, sending tokens) - Practical element, have them create their own wallet
- Most used media for web3 projects: Twitter, Discord, Reddit
- Safety measures
- Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (Managerial)
- What is a DAO
- Why decentralize
- Decentralized communities
- DAOs: use cases (Crowdfunding DAOs: Krause Haus ; Social DAOs: Bored Apes Yacht Club; Grant DAOs: Gitcoin ; Social Impact DAOs: ClimateDAO, VitaDAO ; Philantropy DAOs: UkraineDAO; Protocol DAOs: Maker)
- The governance process
- On-chain and off-chain voting
- Setting up your own DAO (practical)
- Setting up a DAO
- Creating your first proposal
- Debating your first proposal
- Voting on proposal
- Blockchain allows unbanked people to get access to credit
- Through blockchain, people can send money all over the world for an average fee of 0.0002$, while the average cost of a Western Union transfer is about 5%
- People managed to raise 43 million dollars in six days to buy a copy of the American consitution, this sum is higher than any kickstarter campaing
- After the outbreak of the Ukrainian war, two Ukrainian activists created UkraineDAO through more than 7 million dollars were raised in a few days to support local initiatives
- Non Fungible Tokens generated a florid decentralized art market in which creators have full control on their artwork sales
- All transactions on a blockchain are fully transparent and traceable by anyone on in the internet

PRESENTATION
We bring value on the key points of Mel presentation
What is web3 and why it was born
Why is it important for students to understand this space
How can we give students ownership in their education (Irish school doc)and make them participate in a governance process to improve their lives within their schools
What’s the advantage for schools and teachers - get
Bullet points
The centralization problem and why decentralization matters Evolution of web: Web1, Web2, Web3 The values of web3: Decentralization, Ownership, Transparency, Censorship resistance A brief history of money: from bartering to the rise of fiat currency to Bitcoin A brief history of communication: from marathon runners to the internet Enter the first peer-to-peer digital currency: an overview of distributed ledger technology and how blockchain works Smart Contracts: getting rid of 3rd parties, code as law Introducing tokenomics to incentivize positive behaviour - the rise of token economy Smart Contracts applications: DeFi, NFTs, Metaverses, DAOs Safety and security: how to interact safely in web3 DAOs: new ways of organizing work and reaching goals together The governance process within DAOs Use cases: Social DAOs, Grant DAOs, Envinmental DAOs, Philantropic DAOs Project module: Establishing a Student owned DAO: propose, debate and vote to improve the Students' lives within their class or school settings
In this course we explore different applications of centralization and decentralization and their effects in our society, looking in particular at the history of money, governance and communication, including the evolution of web technology.
Following that, we provide a broad overview of blockchain technology, how it works and its different applications: smart contracts and how the introduction of tokenomics can generate economic systems where positive behaviours are incentivized.
Finally, we cover DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) as a revolutionary approach to managing work and achievieng communal goals, analizing some real world use cases and projects in the fields of environmental protection, philantropy and micro finance.
The last module of this course will be project based and consists of the design and deployment of a Student owned DAO, the generation of proposals to improve students’ lives within their school and community, followed by a discussion and a voting process.
