IdeasLet’s actively bring Nxt into every university and school all over the world. Every teacher will be able to download and use teaching materials for their students. Everyone will be able to attend free online courses about Nxt from their home. Young people untouched by the cryptocurrencies will be informed about Nxt via: bulletin boards at the school, lectures organized at their school, student projects led at their school… Online Nxt courses will be visible at every educational site with online courses...
Why Nxt Academy?The world of cryptocurrencies has got a huge enemy – ignorance. The society isn’t ready for wider acceptance of the cryptocurrencies. Nxt is bringing a huge revolution in many industries, but right now it is just a toy for geeks. Nxt Academy is going to prepare the society for the Nxt crypto revolution by providing teaching materials.
Strategy
Direct marketing to Students – educationNxt Academy isn’t only a passive website with videos and texts. It actively propagates Nxt at schools, universities or student festivals. Nxt Academy will be targeting all bigger Universities and sending its materials to their students. Students will be working on team projects with their classmates, while Nxters will be mentoring them. They could join international research teams, apply for Nxt Academy grants or Theses of the year. Teachers will be receiving teaching materials, infographics, textbooks and worksheets for children, so they could teach even young kids about Nxt. It will be easy to download all sources, printed materials will be sent to the schools or handed out after the speeches / lectures at the schools and universities.
Online Marketing and CooperationAll content created by the Nxt Academy will be actively distributed to the other similar projects – Khan Academy, Coursera, Coin Academy, College Cryptocurrency Network… It’s about spreading the knowledge, so Nxt Academy will try to have its courses at all of those sites and many others.
Nxt Academy will be targeting people untouched by the cryptocurrencies at various online platforms (such as Freebieservers). Nxt Academy provides press releases, news, blog posts, Twitter/Facebook/Weibo posts, forum posts, videos at multiple platforms… SEO, online marketing etc.
Translations are planned for Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French and Czech.
Research
Nxt Academy will be supporting the crypto research. Database of the research/students papers will be very helpful for all cryptocurrency researchers. This side project will create a library with crypto-related articles saved at multiple platforms. With enough funds, Nxt Academy could provide student scholarships, grants or awards. The dream goal is to have a crypto theses of the year contest during the Nxt Academy conference.
Teaching - Online courses and textbooks
Before entering the Universities or Student festivals, Nxt Academy needs to prepare the teaching materials.
Online courses Easy-to-use platform for everyone who will be able to learn about Nxt, its ecosystem, its ideas, its abilities. New fresh videos and edited videos will be followed by chosen articles and infographics.
Textbooks If we want to get cryptocurrencies and Nxt into the mainstream, we need to prepare educational materials for teachers. Textbooks will be created by a cooperation with university professors and school teachers.
Worksheets Even children should have a chance to learn about the cryptocurrencies. We need to prepare the world for this new revolution. Worksheets, educational programs for children will be prepared by a cooperation with the school teachers.
Infographics Social media campaigns need well prepared infographics to reach the biggest audience.
