Short description:
The AmharicChain Polkadot Academy app aims to build and provide comprehensive and accessible educational resources in the local language, focusing on Polkadot and blockchain technologies. It targets users in Ethiopia and Across Africa, fostering a deeper understanding and contribution to the Polkadot ecosystem.
Problem:
Despite the significant growth in the number of interested individuals and the maturity of the Ethiopian, Polkadot needs more representation in all aspects. Even though the project has a robust technological foundation and a high degree of innovation, it needs recognition compared to its direct competitors, such as Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, and Cardano, which have more technology-related content on the Internet
platform.

It's worth noting that in the last two years, Polkadot has only surpassed the Cosmos network regarding brand awareness. And for that to be available in ethiopian The absence of comprehensive educational resources in Amharic for learning about Polkadot blockchain technology in Ethiopia is needed.
Proposal:
The AmharicChain Polkadot Academy app aims to address this gap by providing structured lessons, interactive exercises, and localized support in the native language.
Existing Solution:
While numerous platforms offer educational resources in various languages, predominantly English, there's a noticeable absence of projects or proposals catering to Polkadot and blockchain education in Amharic and other African languages. Currently, such resources are lacking, hindering the accessibility of blockchain knowledge and contribution in native contexts. Our app aims to fill this gap by empowering individuals and fostering a deeper understanding of blockchain within Ethiopia and eventually across Africa.
As of now Ethiopian and most of African are not adaptable to blockchain Technology, Ethiopian government are signed to adapt it after 2022, But there is still not yet started
AmharicChain Academy doesn't just impart knowledge; it also tracks progress effectively. Through assessments, user feedback mechanisms, and measurable skill development features, users can tangibly see their educational journey unfold. This not only boosts motivation but also enables users to showcase their newfound skills confidently.
