Structured Hybrid Learning Approach

Cohort 7 embraced a dynamic hybrid learning model that combined the flexibility of online sessions with the hands-on experience of in-person bootcamps at the Web3Clubs Lab in Nairobi. This structure allowed developers to access world-class Solidity training remotely, while also benefiting from intensive in-person mentorship, collaboration, and project-building opportunities. The format ensured a balanced and inclusive learning experience, catering to both remote learners and those able to attend physically.

ETHDada: Women in Web3

Empowering Women to Build

In a powerful initiative to increase female representation in Web3, Web3Club in collaboration with LedgerLady led the ETHDada initiative, a dedicated women’s track during Cohort 7. Over the course of 16 weeks, participants received comprehensive Solidity training complemented by weekly feedback sessions. The program partnered with Women in Ethereum Protocol, successfully facilitating the entry of four participants into their cohort. Beyond technical learning, the initiative also created valuable networking opportunities, including a brunch event at the ETHiopia pop-up city. The track culminated in the deployment of 11 projects across both Lisk and Ethereum, showcasing the impact of intentional efforts to empower women in blockchain development.
