Proposal: 12 Week Rust course at FIIT STU in Bratislava
Dear Kusama community,
Allow me to introduce you to our proposal for 12 Week long Rust academic course held on Faculty of Informatics and Information technologies, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava.
Aim of this proposal:
The proposal aims to establish Rust course at Faculty of Informatics and Information technologies in Bratislava. It covers costs of special guests as well as costs for video. The expected outcome is to create an experienced Rust team capable of working on Dotsama ecosystem projects. This will benefit both our University and the ecosystem. Our faculty has an entire research group that focuses on Blockchain. Recently, we had an idea of forming a Rust course. This course aims to gain a team of Rust developers who can help us work on projects and innovations for Dotsama ecosystem. As we know, getting motivated developers into the ecosystem is a very hard task nowadays.

Will the materials of the course be available in perpetuity for anyone outside the in-person Rust course to see? Or will they be for attendees only. This is important because the treasury should cover materials that are open source and open for everyone to see.
@saxemberg
Hello Saxemberg,
as we mentioned in proposal, we want to make all the materials published (ideally on Github) to anyone. Here is the citation from proposal: "It is only held for our Academy students, but the lectures from this course will be made public for everyone to see/learn from."
Thank you.
This looks like a good proposal. The curriculum is fairly comprehensive and good to see it also touches on Substrate. It also looks to be good value for the small sum being asked. Will the lectures be delivered in English?
@ChrisBCK
Hello ChrisBCK,
the lectures will have slides in English, however, the presentation in-person at the faculty will be done mainly in Slovak language, except the video (one of deliverables) of invited lecturer for one lecture which will be whole in English, because the lecturer will be a foreigner.
Thanks.
