## 🎯 Purpose
The **Celo DeFi Builder Bootcamp** is a focused, high-impact learning experience designed to transition junior Web2 developers and early-stage Web3 **developers from Colombia into active Celo ecosystem builders**.
Unlike traditional coding bootcamps, this program emphasizes creating grant-ready builders** who can sustainably contribute to the ecosystem. It **leverages Celo’s Proof of Ship** framework to validate progress and catalyze long-term engagement.
The **Celo Colombia community** supports this regional initiative, with the cCOP stablecoin used for incentives and in-course transactions. The cCOP stablecoin is used throughout the bootcamp for transactions, and smart contract interactio, demonstrating its utility and encouraging real-world integration.
### 🧩 What It Is
A 5-session, cohort-based online bootcamp that equips React/TypeScript developers with foundational Web3 and DeFi skills, using **Celo-native tools**, **GitHub**, and **Proof of Ship** from Day 1. Each learner builds and submits 4 small, functional DeFi projects—publicly tracked and documented.
### 🔗 GitHub-First, Code-Centric Learning
* No slides. No Gitbook. Everything lives in a GitHub repo.
* Students submit pull requests for every milestone.
* Course instructions, feedback, and demos all happen in code.
* The bootcamp itself is a project on Karma GAP—visible, verifiable, and forkable.
### 🛠️ Proof of Ship & Karma GAP Integration
* Create a Karma GAP project to track submissions from day 1.
* Submit each week’s project as a milestone via GitHub PRs.
* Build a public, verifiable portfolio that supports future grant applications.
### 🪴 Long-Term Impact for Students
* Apply for Celo grants with live projects
* Join Celo Colombia and build on top of cCop.
* Nurture the regional community of builders.
### 📚 Bootcamp Delivery & Session Outline
Each session is delivered live online and is 2 hours long. The format is 80% hands-on coding and 20% guided walkthrough. Learners work directly in GitHub repositories, submitting pull requests for feedback and review.
#### Session Overview:
* **Session 1: Hello Celo + Proof of Ship Setup**
Deploy a HelloCelo contract and register a Karma GAP project.
* **Session 2: Time-Locked Vault**
Build and test a smart contract that locks CELO or cCop with UI.
* **Session 3:cCOP Multi-Sig Wallet Frontend**
Deploy a simple smart contract wallet that requires multiple signers to approve cCOP transfers.
* **Session 4: Uniswap LP Dashboard**
Visualize Uniswap pools data using subgraphs on Celo.
This outline is designed to offer continuous wins, real-world tooling exposure, and public portfolio building through Proof of Ship.
### 📦 Deliverables
The program produces tangible outputs that demonstrate learner progress and ecosystem alignment, including a public-facing website for discoverability and open education:
#### Instructor Deliverables:
* Weekly office-hour schedule shared via Google Calendar
* Static website hosting the full course outline, project templates, toolchain links, and FAQ.
* GitHub repos for each session with starter code and issue templates
* Bootcamp project on Karma GAP with milestone tracking
* Recap content and coordination of Twitter Space finale
#### Learner Deliverables:
* Post-bootcamp satisfaction and next-steps survey
* Personal Karma GAP project page with 5 public milestone submissions
* GitHub PRs for all weekly projects
* Participation in Twitter Space recap and community engagement
### 🗓️ Timeline Overview
The full program spans **10 weeks**, segmented into three phases:
* **Weeks –3 to 0: Preparation Phase**
* Curriculum drafting, outreach, GitHub setup, and Karma GAP project configuration
* **Weeks 1 to 5: Live Instruction Phase**
* Weekly 2-hour live sessions with progressive project builds and public submissions
* **Week 6: Final Showcase & Support Phase**
* Final project milestone submission, Twitter Space recap chat with community and mentors, async feedback, and onboarding to grants and advanced tracks
This bootcamp sets in motion a repeatable, scalable model for nurturing Web3 builders in LATAM.
### 📈 Metrics & Long-Term Impact
* KPIs: Learners per cohort, GitHub PRs merged, grant applications submitted
* Alumni Engagement: Ongoing Telegram chat for graduates and creation of an alumni directory/database to support continued collaboration and mentorship
