The Polkadot Blockchain Academy is an intensive academic program teaching Blockchain, Substrate and Polkadot to talented developers.

This program aims at:

• Improving our core dev hiring pipeline in both quantity and quality of candidates
• Seeding the industry with Substrate knowledge and advocates
• Building a surplus of devs for lesser product prototyping if they’re not hired out
• Improving our non-dev onboarding processes

Selected through an admission process, candidates will receive an intensive education taught by a mix of professionals from Parity, Web3 and some visiting professors.

We are launching the first wave this Summer in the UK with a target of 50 students before growing to three in-person waves of 100 students each in rotating geographies.
