2) Project Description: Zero to Clarity. Many entrepreneurs come to the community with ideas for their product but are reluctant to start playing with smart contracts because they may be intimated or don't know where to begin. I aim to serve as a mentor who provides them with a starting point to Clarity smart contracts and the entire Stacks ecosystem. I plan to develop a space for cultivating Clarity focused mentors.
Mentorship Strategy:
Every odd day on weekday Morning on X - Who needs help with Clarity today?
Every even day on weekday Morning on X - Who wants to be a Clarity Dev Mentor?
The above two points will help me do the following:
What does it mean to be a good mentor on STX?
Create a list of developers who can support incoming engineers
Make that list public
Assign each mentor up to 3 mentees
Create framework to have mentors answer questions during specific times per week.
Have a weekly mentorship call/Mentor catch-up? How/What can we do better?
3) Impact:
Lowering Barriers to Entry:
Provide an accessible starting point for newcomers to Clarity smart contracts and the Stacks ecosystem.
Reduce the learning curve for blockchain development, attracting more developers to the platform.
Accelerating Developer Onboarding:
Guide developers from zero knowledge to deploying their first smart contract in just three months.
Streamline the learning process with bite-sized, focused content.
Expanding the Developer Pool:
Increase the number of active developers in the STX ecosystem.
Diversify the developer base by making content accessible to those with time constraints.
Enhancing Ecosystem Growth:
Stimulate the creation of new STX-based applications and projects.
Foster innovation by providing developers with the tools to quickly implement their ideas.
Fostering Community Engagement:
Create a shared resource that can spark discussions and collaborations among developers.
Encourage peer-to-peer learning by providing a common foundation of knowledge.
