Description
To drive the massive adoption of web3 and blockchain technology amongst women, I am proposing to host a web3 focused ladies and under-represented meetup.
Vision
To get as many women as possible to get into web3 and those already in tech to transition into web3.
Problem
Since starting the web3 Warri, I have had the honor of co-organizing a couple of workshops and meetups. Our membership strength has grown to 90 plus on our official meetup page.
But what has gotten my attention is the low turn out of women and under-represented groups at our meetups. For example, we usually have an average number of 40 people per meetup, with less than 5 percent of these attendees being women or members of the under-represented group, leaving me as one of the few women who attend these meetups.
Solution
To drive the massive adoption of web3 and blockchain technology amongst women, I am proposing to host a web3 focused ladies and under-represented meetup.
To bring onboard more females and drive diversity and inclusion in the web3 Warri community
Validation / Traction / Progress so far-
Started the web3 Warri community in February, 2023 and we have hosted three meet-ups and workshops so far in partnership with the Graph protocol with average attendance of 40 persons.
As at the time of submitting this proposal we have grown as a community to over 95 members on our official meetup page and we are currently on the GitCoin Grants 18 #GG18 rounds under web3 education and category.
