The Polkadot Blockchain Academy team has a new plan to help more people learn about their technology. They want to give money, called a "bounty," to people who need help paying for classes and events. Right now, the classes are free, but people have to pay their own way to get there. This makes it hard for some smart people who don't have a lot of money to join in. The team hopes that by giving money to those who need it, more people will be able to learn about Polkadot and help it grow.
