Pre-seed · Web3 · Remote · 2023
Designed and ran a Web3 buildathon that taught developers and creators how to build with NFTs and blockchain primitives — from zero coding experience to a shipped project in a weekend.
Challenge
Web3 tooling was technically inaccessible to most product builders. The learning curve was steep and the community was insular. The goal was to design an experience that lowered the barrier without dumbing down the technology.
Solution
Built a structured buildathon curriculum, selected and onboarded mentors, designed the submission and judging experience, and shipped the event infrastructure from scratch. Focused on practical, project-based learning with real deployed outputs.
Impact
- —Ran event with 200+ registrants and 40+ submitted projects
- —Participants shipped real NFT contracts and Web3 UIs in 48 hours
- —Community grew by 300+ members post-event
Results
- —Established Canvas Coders as a credible Web3 education platform
- —Generated press coverage in crypto and dev community publications
