Noobs to Flowstars
Turn yourself from a Web3 Noob into a Web3 Flowstar with Noobs to Flowstars - the first Learn to Earn Platform on the Flow blockchain.
About
The problem it solves OVERVIEW This is the FIRST learn-to-earn NFT project on the FLOW blockchain. It will transform crypto Noobs into crypto Flowstars through a series of interactive lessons that will provide a foundational cryptocurrencies education. Concepts should be introduced in a logical order so someone who has absolutely no idea how Web3/the blockchain works can have the easiest introduction as possible to it. To test understanding questions will be answered via matching questions, 5 in total. Our demographic is high school students to young professionals. One (1) Flow is required to enter the contest. There will be five levels, with accompanying free lessons to earn badges/flow/nfts/etc. Noobs will be able to buy the ability to answer lessons faster than their scheduled release time, but otherwise will be free. STRUCTURE OF CONTEST 5 TIER/SHAPE of increasing lesson difficulty/advancement (Tier 1: square, Tier 2: triangle, Tier 3: pentagon, Tier 4: circle, Tier 5: star) based on lessons learned and tasks completed. There will be limited shapes available based on how far the Noob advances through the Tiers. To enter the contest, a participant needs to purchase a Tier 1 Square NFT for 1 FLOW token. Each shape will be swapped for the next level one, so others who were not at the initial mint can still participate in the competition, via secondary market. HOW IT MAKES EXISTING TASKS EASIER/SAFER N2F is a safe gateway into the Web3 and Flow blockchain worlds. It incentivizes users who know little to nothing about blockchain tech to learn about it in a controlled environment where they won't be privy to being scammed in any way.
How it's made
Challenges we ran into Repeated lesson bug found and killed! JS and its asynchronicity... we finally found a Stack Overflow post that solved the thing. We also mainly had challenges developing a frontend and not having enough time to make a fully running application. We didn't have enough time to get over these hurdles. Overall, time was definitely the biggest challenge. Additionally, there was a experience gap regarding programing with asynchronous languages, such as Javascript. The React framework is powerful but very tricky to use in Ricardo's opinion. We could have also had one or two more members to share the load of developing, finding members initially was a challenge; this was an issue with event organization. Lastly, the objectives of the Flow Hackthon were very broad, so we have no idea if we did a good or bad job. We just had to work through these last challenges and hope for the best.
