For anyone who wants to learn more about Polkadot to start organizing meetups or improve their quality, we recommend continually educating yourself. The content you provide on your meetups can be the first thing that some people learn about Polkadot, so it's essential to have proper knowledge and select valuable, engaging, and easy-to-understand topics.
One of the best resources to learn about Polkadot is the Polkadot Blockchain Academy. They provide online (PBA-X) or in-person (for developers) education, which is very high quality. We strongly recommend that anyone join these courses. Especially the PBA-X.
PBA-X is a flexible, part-time, 4-week, cohort-based, online blockchain course for anyone who wants to understand blockchain technology properly. It is designed to help you to navigate your Web3 career and is taught by the people behind Polkadot, including Dr Gavin Wood himself.
Completing the PBAX course will be a valuable advantage for those applying for our meetups bounty. It demonstrates a strong understanding of the Polkadot ecosystem and community engagement, making applicants more likely to receive support for their initiatives.
You can watch many great videos in your free time to learn more about Polkadot and the ideas behind web3. There are also many great interviews with Polkadot’s top people or projects that can help you understand more. Feel free to also play something during your meetup to make it more interesting for your attendees.
