In episode 182, we’re excited to welcome Aliya, Vivek, and Andy from Kernel. We discuss Kernel’s origin story, its guiding principles, and its unique approach to education in Web3 that has inspired the growth of some of Web3’s biggest projects. We also highlight how you can join this incredible community and embark on your own journey of growth and collaboration.

Key Takeaways

  • As Web3 continues its rapid evolution, Kernel remains dynamic, continuously refining its content and approach to stay ahead of the curve. By inviting thought leaders from emerging projects, fostering small group discussions on timely topics, and tailoring the curriculum to each fellow's unique work, Kernel ensures a deeply relevant and personalized learning experience. Simultaneously, Kernel places a strong emphasis on connection, creating opportunities for fellows to build meaningful networks that extend far beyond the program.
  • When asking the question, “how can we build a better web for the people we care about?”, it is really about how technology can facilitate relationships with the physical world in healthier ways. This includes building people-centred technology that gives humans greater agency over the web.
  • Individuals with diverse experiences, crafts, and knowledge of Web3 are encouraged to apply to the next Kernel Block at apply.kernel.community
