Solana Student Bootcamp｜Start Blockchain Development with AI

The Solana Student Bootcamp is a hands-on program for students, consisting of four sessions, where you can shape your ideas into products on the Solana blockchain while leveraging AI. "I want to create something using AI" and "I want to know how blockchain is actually used"—this program connects your interests to the first steps of development. By learning about popular areas and actively engaging in hands-on activities, you will deepen your understanding of technology. Learn by creating, the present of AI and Blockchain In this rapidly evolving era of AI, how are blockchain applications and product development changing? In this program, you will learn about industry-relevant areas and actual applications while focusing on development on Solana. Try out what you’ve learned with your own ideas. Implement using AI, test the functionality, and improve. You will move between lectures and development, bringing you closer from "knowing" to "creating." Through this four-session program, the goal is to acquire the ability to develop your own ideas into a product. Let’s connect the knowledge gained from classes and self-study, along with unshaped concepts, into functioning creations. Engage with professionals active in the field We plan to invite external instructors who are active in the real world. Not only will they explain technology, but they will also share insights into what they work on and how they create products. This perspective will provide hints for considering what you want to create. *Details about instructors and each session will be provided sequentially.
