Ed3 Weekly Issue #149: Invent and Implement
Hello Ed3 frens,
My favorite part of the week is when I can sit down and scroll through the news and announcements from the world of blockchain. I’ve gained a pretty solid pulse of things from publishing this newsletter every week over the past 149 weeks (one hundred and forty-nine weeks!).
A trend that I am noticing is that things that were only ideas a few years ago are now actual products. This is true in all aspects of the web3 ecosystem–from XR to crypto, from blockchain to AI.
This week I have some exciting resources to share that reflect this trend.
A student blockchain summit in Hawaii, a graduate program for web3 talent, and an XR hackathon are just some of the resources you’ll find in this issue.
Also, check out the Deep Dive to learn how educator voices are being mapped to code a new breed of AI teacher.
Enjoy all the resources! Don’t forget to:
