The Africa Blockchain Developer’s Call Series Initiative (ABDCS) has planned a bootcamp for Tanzanian university undergraduates that will start on October 31st, 2022. The bootcamp has been planned to bring in more talent and to groom African developers to the required standards.
The bootcamp is themed “Empowering and encouraging home-grown experts and professionals to create our ideal digitally transformed ecosystem.”
The program will be run by Africa BIoT Labs in collaboration with Sankore 2.0, ICORBP, and six host universities, including the State University of Zanzibar (SUZA), Zanzibar University, Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology (DIT), Institute of Financial Management (IFM), College of Business Education (CBE), University of Dar es Salaam (UD) and University of Dodoma (UDom).
According to the Africa BIoT Labs, the program will be held in two different stages, that is to say, a bootcamp and training sessions and a hackathon and pitch sessions.
Additionally, the training will run for at least 3 months after which a certificate of completion will be given. Also, the bootcamp will have physical and online workshops on all blockchain professional courses, and developers’ mentorship sessions.
Some of the courses to be undertaken include, blockchain technology and innovation, applied cryptography, hash functions, currencies, tokens, stablecoins, and consensus mechanisms among others.
ABDC series, a Pan-African initiative targeted at training and certifying 5,000 blockchain professionals and 1,000 blockchain developers from universities, aims to equip developers with the necessary support and encouragement and provide them with various opportunities for either self-sustenance or employment in the space after training, certification, and a successful hackathon.
The initiative also aims to build blockchain and crypto communities of over 70,000 active participants.
