Probably Nothing #109
We got a launch: Last week, we released V2 of our D_D-owned learning platform, D_D Academy! 🚀
EthDenver is the place to be this week, so we have many events with our partners and friends for you. 🥂
Also: Please take a few jobs off our new job board; otherwise, it will burst. 😱
📅 Upcoming Events
🚀 D_D Academy V2 Launch
Hurrah! Developer DAO Academy V2 has launched!
D_D Academy, a sub-DAO of Developer DAO, shares the DAO’s mission to onboard the next wave of Web3 contributors, accelerating their ability to make an impact. This latest iteration of D_D Academy encourages you to join a learning cohort, find a mentor, apply your skills in hackathons, write about and share your learnings, become a mentor, and apply for jobs – all within the Developer DAO community.
We invite you to try it, learn new skills, and stay tuned for a steady cadence of new features and lessons!
