Hello and welcome everybody. Thank you for joining us today for the Twitter space. I will just give it just one minute for everybody to join and then we'll start.

All right welcome everybody to the Twitter space. We're excited to share with you about the academy and also give it experience with the previous two

0:04:05 - 0:04:24

have already had to very successful cohorts and the alumni from these cohorts will be sharing their experience. But let us first hear a quick summary of what is the academy about. And I would like to pass it on to one of our colleagues, Dan Schilds, to give you some brief summary of what

0:04:24 - 0:04:42

the academy is. Well hey guys I go by Nuke and I'm sharing here the office with Marta who's my colleague as well so you'll be hearing her from the same line. In fact I think I'm under Marta's count so hi everybody I'm Marta. Hi everyone.

0:04:42 - 0:05:01

So what is the academy about? Here is a rigorous in-person academic program to get you from competent engineer out to a Web 3 master craftsman. We'd like to get you to the point in which you can really accelerate what Web 3 is all about.

0:05:01 - 0:05:19

Hopefully that will get you energized into really becoming a practitioner and innovator in this space. Wonderful. Thank you, Nick, for that. And how can actually applicants prepare for the Academy? Can you elaborate a little bit on this?

0:05:19 - 0:05:38

So here our craftsman are craftsman of Rust in particular. We do a very Rust heavy engineering program and as a matter of fact, I think we'll get in a little bit about the application's process, but here the the barrier to entry is a Rust exam and to pass this we expect you to be at the very

0:05:38 - 0:05:56

minimum, reasonably well-versed and comfortable in all the basics of Rust, and really will push you through this exam as a learning exercise as well to go more into the medium to advanced topics that Rust has to offer because this is what we'll use and really grind on together in the context of the academy.

0:05:56 - 0:06:15

So if I give you any advice, it's to start now if you haven't already learning Rust. It's an awesome language. The most loved language, I believe, according to the stack overflows, developer survey every year and only accelerating. It also happens to be really good for the kind of things

0:06:15 - 0:06:34

that we're building. So Rust, Rust is the best place to start. Wonderful. Well, this is very good advice for everybody of us. And actually from the experience of the alumni, we have Julia, who has joined us. Julia, what has been some of the most memorable things
