The Celo Foundation has awarded a grant to Dacade, our peer-to-peer education platform that makes active social learning affordable and scalable, to grow Celo’s developer community through peer-to-peer challenges and developer education.
Dacade has launched Celo Development 101, a free, online course specifically for developers who are interested in creating dApps for Celo, an open-source blockchain ecosystem focused on making decentralized financial (DeFi) systems and tools accessible to anyone with a smartphone. By strengthening Celo’s learning community and growing Celo’s ecosystem, Dacade is expanding access to education and ultimately enabling anyone to contribute to Celo’s mission of creating an inclusive financial system. By partnering with the Celo Foundation, Dacade aims to become a leading educator in the communities it serves primarily in sub-Saharan Africa and South America.

Learn and Take the Dacade Celo Challenge
Dacade’s Celo Development 101 course is comprehensive in scope, beginning with curated materials that teach basic Celo concepts. Developers will learn how to create a working Celo mobile dApp before entering the Dacade Celo Challenge, where developers can post their working project to GitHub to get peer feedback.. As developers progress in the course,, they’re also encouraged along the way to collaborate on future Celo projects and participate in hackathons.
“At Dacade, we are focused on a unique, collaborative, and incentivized method of learning and teaching. As more people learn how to build on Celo through Dacade, the number of people working to grow the Celo ecosystem increases. That is the focus of the Dacade Celo Challenge — to foster a collaborative, Celo developer community through education,” said Moritz Stellmacher, CEO at Dacade.
“This partnership lays the groundwork for a strong, open learning community for the Celo ecosystem. The promise of Dacade’s collaborative, incentivized learning model makes us very excited for the future of our developer community, the continued growth of our ecosystem, and the propagation of a financial system that creates the conditions for prosperity — for everyone,” said Daniel Olarte, Service Design Partner at cLabs, working on Celo.
