tip

Use the Google account you check regularly so you don't miss project review feedback and live event notifications.

Step 2: Profile Customization

Upon first sign-in, the onboarding wizard will guide you through three quick questions to customize your curriculum:

  • University / Institution: Connect with fellow alumni and track your campus's position on the academy leaderboard.
  • Experience Level: Choose between Beginner (new to crypto), Intermediate (familiar with wallets & tokens), or Advanced (active developer/builder).
  • Curriculum Pathway: Choose your primary focus: General Track, Ecosystem or Sponsorship Track, or Skill set Track.

Step 3: Navigating Your Dashboard

Once onboarded, your dashboard becomes your daily learning headquarters. From the left sidebar, you can navigate:

โ€ข Dashboard: Overview of today's recommended lesson, overall track progress, and upcoming community workshops.

โ€ข My Courses: Complete module syllabus with lesson-by-lesson progress tracking.

โ€ข Workshops: Interactive coding, writing, and design challenges requiring hands-on submissions.

โ€ข Assessments: Module quizzes and capstone project requirements.
