Breaking Barriers with Steemit | The Cryptokraze Effort to Empower Pakistan with Steem Education

in #steemit7 years ago

Hey everybody, today I have an exciting new movement to talk with you about today called the Steem Education Initiative.

As you probably know, I created the brand @Cryptokraze over six months ago and have been making regular efforts to help other Steemians by sharing my knowledge of trading and cryptocurrencies on a daily basis with my posts.

In fact, I've found the Steem community to be extremely supportive in growing here on this platform and the thought has come to me on several occasions that it would be nice to give back and share what I've learned with others. This is why I had the idea to offer training in how to operate on the Steem blockchain and use the Steemit social networking site to improve life.

The SEI was created because everybody deserves a chance at a better life and cryptocurrency markets are creating a unique opportunity for people to engage with a new digital economy and capitalize by contributing to a brighter digital future.


What is the Steem Education Initiative?

The Steem Education Initiative is an organization centered around educating university students around the world about the blockchain technology, the Steem blockchain and digital publishing on the Steemit social network. Its mission is to engage students in thoughtful discussions focused around improvement of English writing skills and the training necessary to publish content onto the Steem blockchain. This Initiative will enable students to have better lives by trainings given by us and managing their study expenses.



First Training Session for SEI conducted by @CryptoKraze

After sharing my idea with @ADSactly and other Steem community members I decided it was finally time to act upon this goal and schedule training with students from a local university here in Pakistan. I was supported in this effort by @techblogger who also had a sincere desire to help others and educate students around the world about the Steem blockchain and how to become a model 'Steemian.'

I would like to let everyone know that I recently conducted the SEI's first training session and it was a huge success! Below I'd like to talk about my experience and show you a few pictures from the training session.


Amazing Response from Students was Welcomed by SEI

Initially, the idea of steem education was a raw thought and I had a little discussion with few students to know what is in their mind. The response from students was good that encouraged me to act upon this idea to make it a reality. After the first brief on steem, I was expecting about 10 students to show up in 1st training session. To my surprise, I got amazing response and 22 students appeared for training session. They were warmly welcome to start their amazing journey at Steem platform by SEI.


Road Map of First Training Session by SEI

In 1st training session, I have included following topics to be covered.

  • I am Crypto Kraze
  • Barriers in Education
  • What is Steem Blockchain and why it is Amazing
  • Steem, Steem Power and Steem Dollar (SBD)
  • Reward System on Steemit
  • Things to Do / Things not to Do
  • Making Account on Steemit
  • What is ADSactly
  • Who is Techblogger
  • Empowering Pakistan with Steem Education


I am @Cryptokraze

I started with my introduction to start this training session. I am doing multi tasks that include crypto currencies trading and analysis. I am doing forex trading and analysis for last few years and Food Technology is my field of education so I know about food and nutrition quite well. Most importantly, I have started to take my steemit passion to higher level and started promoting steem with my Steem Education Initiative.

The Reward System

As we are using steemit to share our contents. The students were explained about the reward system and how it works


Things to do / Not to do on Steemit

This part of the training was very important for students because this is how they gonna start their steemit journey and they were explained the things that they should do on steemit. At the same time, they were warned about the things that they should not be doing on steemit.


Making Account on Steemit

The main part of the training was enabling students to make their account on steemit. This was explained briefly and majority of the students have already created account and few are waiting for approval of accounts.


ADSactly and Techblogger

When I discussed this idea of Steem Education Initiative with @adactly and @techblogger, I got immediate response and support. So, I made it sure to mention them in training so students can have idea that they will get support whenever they come up with some great ideas.


Enjoying Refreshment and Lunch

At end of the training session, students were given refreshment and lunch that was fully enjoyed and loved by students. I am grateful to @techblogger who was the sponsor of this refreshment.


Final Words
