In-person workshops can be a valuable learning experience since they offer personalized instruction, networking opportunities, and the chance to learn in an interactive, hands-on format. They can also provide a break from the usual routine and the opportunity to try new things. We are sponsoring a microgrant to encourage those who want to share their technical knowledge about Solana with communities in all parts of Turkey to hold physical events.
Evaluation Criteria
We prefer to support teams that have some prior experience in organizing events (regardless of how small) and events that are primarily focused on developers.
- The event should be a technical workshop explaining Solana technologies.
- Your target audience should be developers or those who want to become developers.
- The number of developers who will attend your event and the number of developers who attended your previous events are important.
- Having prior planning/permission obtained regarding the event location and potential dates.
- Explaining in detail why you are the right person to organize this event.
We recommend doing as many of these as possible:
- 📥 Attendees: You ideally invite every developer who wants to be a Solana developer there and who is now curious about Solana and Superteam.
- 🤝 Onboarding: The workshop is an opportunity to invite specific people who you already know have a clear path to valuable contribution to the Solana ecosystem. Ideally, this interaction is a turning point in their career, bringing them onto the Solana ecosystem.
- 📷 Proof of meet-up: You ideally take picture and put them up on your social media of choice with a short caption with your experience, learnings, or thoughts. Tag @SuperteamDAO and we might share it as well!
- 💬 Follow up group: Everyone who attends, invite them into a private Telegram / Whatsapp group that you’re an admin of. This way you can be in touch, and help make happen more plans that were discussed at workshop!
- Submit the application form.
- Solana Foundation will usually reply within ~72 hours.
- If approved, you'll receive confirmation email and the amount in the next payout cycle!
