Jury rewards

An amount equal to 10% of the total sum of all total tokens awarded to contest winners will be distributed among jurors who vote and provide feedback. Jury rewards are directly proportional to the number of votes, so if one juror votes less often and another more often, the reward is disseminated respectively.

We have some discussion about rewards, 2800TON for educated junior developer (who get 7 points) can be too high, so any related comments are welcome.
Also in this contest is no methodology of education, it’s by design - because I see it like black box, teachers can/must have their personal methodology.

happy to see how exciting it’ll be for students to earn crypto.

I am very excited, this is a great proposal, and the number of TON rewards is not so important here, because knowledge is the most valuable reward.

Can an ordinary member of Free TON community be able to participate in this contest as an enrollee?

Why not? If you ready to sign work contract after education, don’t see any problem.

Thank you for your answer!

Great initiative! can’t wait to see students take up this initiative as well

A very useful initiative.

Fellow members! After some comments and conversation with members of community, I slightly change contest, add calculation example and move salary block to Jury voting recommendation (the contest dates is also refreshed):

Contest: DeEducation №1

Type: contest

Contest dates: September 6, 2021 — November 7, 2021 (at 23:59 UTC).

Voting cycle: 14 days

Motivation

The Free TON community, especially Dev Teams, needs more Smart Contract and DeBot developers. Some experienced Free TON developers can teach new people, but don’t have enough time for it. To organize education we need self organized education teams, usually consisting of 2 people, an Education manager - who organizes the education process and Senior Developer - who can teach students.

The goal

Get new Junior Developers experienced in Smart Contract and DeBot development, which can be hired by Free TON development teams.

Terms

Applicants for Junior Developers position, present their coursework on AMA session and pass interview with Jurors.

Requirements

  • achieved academic assessments (1 to 10 points),
  • link to course work published on github.

Voting

  • Jurors will be recruited from DevEx and DevOps SG initial members, jurors and other active members, who have a solid understanding of the described technology to provide a score.
  • Jurors or whose team(s) intend to participate in this contest by providing submissions lose their right to vote in this contest.

To avoid fraud and reject submissions from established professionals, Jurors must check applicant’s ability to sign job contract with any potential employer with following minimal terms:

  • Salary: trial period $500/Month NET max 3 months, $650 NET min after;
  • Type of workspace - distant/on site.

Rewards

Education Team

For each certified student (all students who get 5 points and above) get:

  • 450 TON per point (ex. 7 points = 2 800).

For each student who get job offer from involved Employers (Free TON dev teams) get:

  • 2 amounts of salary in Free TON equivalence.

For example: The Education team participating in this contest, organized a course and taught a group of 15 students. The 10 students (submissions) pass Jurors examination and get the average 7 points each, so Education Team will get 10 * 7 * 450 = 28 000 TON, for their 2 months work.
