Weekly FAQ Digest: Part 7
Since our launch last year, the Academy Token Telegram group has been a proverbial town square where accomplishments have been shared alongside criticisms. Your engagement in the progression of ACAD has been obvious and your questions have been heard. In this series, we’ll be answering some of the questions you’ve posed in the Telegram group each week.
This week, we’re providing an inside look at the company by sharing some photos and giving you the scoop on our latest announcement.
Can you tell us more about the Tezos Foundation partnership? What does it mean for us as ACAD holders?
Last week, we announced Kingsland University’s momentous partnership with the Tezos Foundation that would deliver specialized courses, hackathons, project incubation, and global events to financial centers around the world in 2019.
But what does that mean for you?
This partnership signals a new course you can purchase with your ACADEMY Tokens. One of the cornerstone features of this union between Kingsland and the Tezos Foundation is that the two companies are working together to develop and deploy a supplemental course focused on the Tezos protocol. Students can now elect to specialize their blockchain education with that Tezos-centric training, preparing them for a blockchain career in the Tezos network.
It may also mean spending less of your ACAD on those courses. As part of the partnership, the Tezos Foundation announced a grants program to support the training of 1,000 Tezos-focused developers.
Do you have pictures or videos that give us a look inside these courses?
We’re glad to hear you are interested in seeing our students hard at work! And we’re happy to show them off.
Some of our favorite pictures come from Kingsland University’s Blockchain Immersion course run in Iloilo City in the Philippines. The cohort was full of driven, dedicated student devs that forged fantastic bonds as they worked through the challenging curriculum together:
More great photos came from the recent one-day technical seminar held in Singapore. Entitled Building Blocks: Introduction to Blockchain, the single day seminar served as an introductory taste into Kingsland’s Blockchain Networks and Dapps & Solidity courses that will be conducted in Singapore at the end of this year and the beginning of next year. We’re looking forward to seeing these familiar faces in those upcoming cohorts!
We’ll have more photos to share with you from our one-day technical seminar being hosted in Mexico City this week.
