ABOUT

My name is Esthe Peter Tom, I am a Law student at the University of Port Harcourt where I learned my Tech Skills as early as my First year in the University.

In my course of exploring Tech as a Digital Marketer, Content Writer and a sought after Social Media Manager, I came in contact with #Web3 and Blockchain Technologies. I was onboarded into Web3 in the Borderless Web3 Community. Since then, I have been an active Web3: Educator, Content Creator, Social Media Manager, and a Web3 Pressman.

I present the ‘TheNewbiesCorner (TNC)’ project, a Web3/Tech educational project designed to help students seamlessly transition into Tech and Web3. It simplifies complex Web3 concepts, breaking them down like explaining to a baby. Through a structured website, it provides free educational videos, explainers, workbooks, and eBooks. NewbiesCorner also supports Web2 professionals in integrating Web3 into their fields or transitioning to Web3. With a focus on simplicity , accessibility and clarity, it ensures that students from non-tech backgrounds can easily understand and leverage Web3 for their careers.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

• Establish an Accessible Learning Platform by developing a structured website that provides easy-to-understand Web3, tech and public goods educational videos, explainers, workbooks, and eBooks for free.
• Simplify Web3 and public goods Education by breaking down complex Web3 concepts and terminologies in a way that even complete beginners can understand, making the transition seamless.
• Support Web2 to Web3 Transition by creating tailored content that helps Web2 professionals and tech talents navigate and integrate into the Web3 space.
• Increase Web3 Adoption by providing step-by-step onboarding resources that make it easy for newcomers to enter and thrive in the Web3 ecosystem.
• Enhance Community Engagement by fostering a network of learners and mentors who can support and guide newcomers through their tech and Web3 journey.
