Zcash Global Education Day, October 28th!

At today’s My First Zcash weekly meeting, a new idea was sparked! We’re going to assemble resources across the Zcash community and we need your help to make this event a success. Please join us!

The My First Zcash community project is excited to announce the inaugural Zcash Global Education Day, taking place (everywhere!) on October 28th - Zcash’s birthday! This volunteer grassroots event aims to share knowledge about Zcash worldwide, and we need your help to make it a success!

The Concept
Our plan is simple yet powerful:

  1. Translate Chapter 5: Intro to Zcash from the My First Zcash workbook into multiple languages.

  2. Use this translated content to deliver “Intro to Zcash” presentations in our local communities around the globe.

  3. Host these free presentations simultaneously on October 28th.

The Vision

By coordinating our presentations worldwide on a single day, we can boost awareness about Zcash and introduce new people to our community. Together we can make Zcash Global Education Day a success and potentially establish it as an annual event! Let’s see what we can accomplish over the next 33 days. We can do this!

How You Can Contribute

  • Translate: Help us make the content accessible. Perhaps our ambassadors can help us with translation? Please tag ambassadors to help them see this post!
  • Present: Offer to give a presentation in your local area. Are you game? Please reply to this thread!
  • Organize: Secure a free venue such as a library, bookstore, or community center for the presentation. If you have additional venue ideas, please reply to this thread!
  • Promote: Spread the word about the event in your community. Let’s create a standardized flyer that everyone can use / customize. Anyone with design skills willing to create that for us?

What are your ideas? Let’s get this conversation started! Please share this post!

This is the master translation sheet to help us keep track of the work being accomplished. It represents all languages self-reported by the My First Zcash project volunteers. Multiple people can team up to translate, too!

Please reach out to me if you’re game to translate and indicate which language. I’ll add you to this sheet right away. My inbox is blowing up today about this initiative. It’s wonderful! Thanks so much everyone!

Count me in Elise. I’ll translate into Yoruba language. I have a local bookstore I can book for presentations and an audience to listen.

Let’s celebrate Zcash.

I have previously translated some ZecHub wiki guides and newsletter into Yoruba language.
