Animoca Brands is a well known company advancing digital property rights for gaming and the metaverse. They have just committed to contribute to the Global Educators Fund (a US$10 million grant fund set up by Open Campus Protocol) to supplement standard education curricula through the use of Web3 technologies and communities.
Open Campus is a community-led protocol for educators, content creators, parents, and students. Its launch partners include Animoca Brands, TinyTap, GEMS Education, Liberty City Ventures, Dalton Learning Lab, and others. The vision of Open Campus is to leverage Web3 to create a modern, global, and inclusive educational space where teachers, parents, students, and content creators can collaborate.
Yat Siu, the co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, states:
“Teachers are among the most prolific and important content creators, but they often lack the funding to advance and innovate in the classroom and in their learning programs. By supporting the Open Campus Global Educators Fund, which we believe is the first of its kind, we want to use Web3 to allow educators around the world to produce new educational content that is relevant and innovative and that can adequately prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.”
Yogev Shelly, the CEO of TinyTap and a member of the EDU Foundation Council, commented:
“We want to touch upon core values for education and reach underserved communities around the world. Open Campus exists to support knowledge seekers and providers in an interdependent ecosystem. The Open Campus Global Educators Fund will allow teachers to claim upfront funding for the development of material that will have a real impact on the world.”
