Let’s Build DAO (@letsbuild_dao) has announced the launch of its transformative Let’s Build Academy, a groundbreaking EduFi platform designed to empower Africa’s next generation of Web3 builders.
With a mission to democratize blockchain education, Let’s Build DAO’s decentralized initiative is set to redefine how developers, students, and innovators engage with Web3, making Nigeria and the continent a hub for on-chain innovation.
Sponsored by partners like @LiskHQ, the platform blends education with economic empowerment, offering a direct pathway to Web3 careers.
The Academy, accessible at academy.letsbuilddao.com, uses Lazy NFTs dynamic on-chain tokens to grant access to courses, community perks, and hands-on projects without hefty fees. These NFTs, minted via MetaMask on testnets like Lisk Sepolia, serve as both credentials and keys to an exclusive pioneer community.
The journey began in 2024 with a beta launch, tested at the #LiskBuildersClub, followed by an 8-week bootcamp in January 2025. The bootcamp, announced via an X Space on January 23, immersed 100+ participants in dApp development. A hackathon win at @BorderlessDev’s event earned 2nd Prize, spotlighting the Academy’s innovative model. September’s Lazy NFT giveaway (80 winners) celebrated the DAO’s anniversary, paving the way for today’s milestone.
The curriculum is hands-on and accessible, requiring only basic tech curiosity. Modules cover Web3 fundamentals, dApp development, on-chain gaming, Lazy NFT tokenomics, and advanced tools like embedded wallets. Learners build real projects, earning verifiable NFT badges, with top performers gaining DAO funding or job referrals. The flexible, modular format suits beginners and intermediates, supported by mentorship and Discord/X communities.
With 100+ builders already onboarded, the Academy is poised to train 500+ by end-2025, addressing Africa’s skills gap. Partnerships with Lisk and Borderless amplify its impact, fostering grassroots Web3 adoption. To join, visit the site, claim a Lazy NFT with testnet ETH, and dive in.
