Learning Experience

The course is designed as a lightweight 30-hour path:

  • Public videos and documentation provide the primary explanations.
  • Course notes sequence the resources into a coherent path.
  • Labs turn each topic into a concrete artifact.
  • Self-checks help learners decide whether they can move on.
  • Optional live sessions give instructors a way to support cohorts without replacing self-paced learning.

Each module follows the same loop:

  1. Preview the module goals and final deliverable.
  2. Watch the assigned videos or read the assigned docs.
  3. Ask an AI assistant to summarize the module-specific resources.
  4. Complete the lab task.
  5. Run the self-check.
  6. Submit links, screenshots, command output, or code.
  7. Record what AI helped with and what required human correction.

Every module should include short questions like:

  • Can I explain the core concept without reading notes?
  • Can I reproduce the key command or workflow?
  • Can I identify the contract, frontend, wallet, and network pieces involved?
  • Can I explain one risk in my implementation?
  • Can I show a link or artifact proving the work was completed?

For cohort-based delivery, instructors can add 12 hours of synchronous support:

Session Duration Purpose
Orientation 1h Wallet setup, safety baseline, and course workflow
Lab support 1 2h Chain, wallet, Gas, and Solidity labs
Lab support 2 2h Token standards and testing
Lab support 3 2h Scaffold-ETH 2 and SpeedRun Challenge 0
Lab support 4 2h L2 deployment and security review
Capstone clinic 2h Vendor or DEX implementation support
Demo day 1h Project showcase and retrospective

The recommended support pattern is:

  • One shared discussion channel for setup and environment issues
  • One issue template for lab blockers
  • One project submission form
  • One demo day slot per learner or team
  • One lightweight review rubric based on the Evaluation page

Good progress is not just watching videos. A learner is on track when they can show working artifacts:

  • A testnet wallet and transaction
  • A compiled and tested Solidity contract
  • An ERC-20 or ERC-721 deployment
  • A Scaffold-ETH 2 project running locally
  • A SpeedRun challenge submission
  • A testnet or L2 deployment
  • A capstone README with risks and links
