Over 300 lucky students, out of a pool from 20,000 applicants, had a wonderful experience learning about Web3.0 and understanding future opportunities at the recently concluded IBC - 2022-23 Continuum on Web3.0 held at the Tech Mahindra campus in Hyderabad. The training sessions were open-sourced and were simulcast live on the Internet so that students who were not in Hyderabad also benefitted from the same.

IBC lined up top mentors, who hand-held students in their 9-day Web3.0 journey, with sessions on insights on Smart Contracts, Para chains, Polkadot architecture, Substrate, RUST, speed building, etc. The sessions were helmed by experts of Web3.0 like Shivam from Moralis; Dr. Radhakrishna Dasari from the Web3.0 Foundation; Selvaraj from Goharness, Praveen Thakur, COO IBC Media Tejas Vijay and Varun Gyanchandani from Wow Labz, Hitesh Sharma from Zeeve, Aayusha from DLT labs, Chandra Shekar (Associate professor) from BVRIT Engineering college for Women, Trilochana Chary and Abhil Nair( Co-founder, CEO of Smart Matrix Technologies). The students were divided into 3-member teams with a total of 100 teams. Top 3 teams with the best ideas were selected and awarded certificates for their innovation and ideas at the closing ceremony at T-Hub on 29th November.

IBC’s Education & Certification Program is a 5-year agenda focused on onboarding students from 1000 engineering colleges from India to create a top-line pool of industry-ready Web3.0 developers, conversant in Web 3, Blockchain and emerging technologies. The novelty about IBC’s Education & Certification Program is its holistic approach – students are taken through a full-cycle program that includes Orientation, Training, Ideation, Brainstorming and Speed Building leading up to the final selection of students.

IBC Media understands that there is a huge skill gap in the industry and there is an urgent need to bridge it.
