Grant for Education
Brief Description
The benefits of a bootcamp to a developers journey can be likened to the benefits of structured learning in schools vs self help/ home school. A dev bootcamp provides speed, structure and easy access to necessary resources to speed up learning. This is the ultimate goal of the UMA dev bootcamp; creating an environment that accelerates use of the UMA infrastructure, with the added benefits of an UMA dev support network.

*UMA dev university website
*Automated onboarding
*Compiled written/video courses to accelerate dev education
*Structured categorization from UMA dev beginner to pro
*Stack overflow style Q&A feature for dev support
*Badges to award sprint completions
*Accountability from course completion badges ( possibly utilizing UMA’s KPI options)
*Possible course include;
making contract calls to the UMA OO
*understanding long short pair
*how to run scripts and tests with the monorepo
*Utilizing UMA’s KPI options
What would UMA lose out on if it did not fund this grant
Dev bootcamps act as accelerators of a developers journey. In the crypto space a protocol specific bootcamp accelerates learning and adoption of the protocols infrastructure as well as utilizing the multiple ideas a network of developers brings with it.
UMA stands to lose that accelerator effect in driving devs into the UMA ecosystem as well as the great projects that could be built on UMA given the proposed UMA dev university’s convenience.
