# Solana Professional Education

This repo is the Solana Professional Education training. We designed it for those considering running a training event and instructing the course.
The Solana Professional Education repo has everything you need for running a training event and instructing the course.

The training covers cryptography fundamentals, blockchain, and Solana from the ground up, with frequent hands-on labs. By the end of the training, students will be able to create and transfer tokens, mint NFTs, and build simple on-chain applications using Anchor on Rust.

**If you want to learn Solana, not run a training event**, follow [@solana_devs on X](https://x.com/solana_devs), and we'll let you know when the next course is running in a city near you or on Zoom!

**If you plan on running a training event** welcome, you're in the right place! This repo has everything you need to plan and teach the course. You can also [contact Mike MacCana](mailto:[email protected]) for help.
This repo has everything you need to plan and teach the course:

- The [Instructor presentation](./Solana%20Professional%20Education.key). We use Keynote as there are animations in some slides, and other presentation tools don't have Keynote's 'magic move.' There is also a [Powerpoint Export](./Solana%20Professional%20Education%20Powerpoint%20Export.pptx)
- The files in [`labs`](./labs) are working solutions to each lesson's labs.
- The [Agenda](./AGENDA.md) for local and remote training sessions
- The [Event planning playbook](./EVENT-PLANNING.md)

## Aims of the training

### Smaller steps

Student drop-off - high even in some of the best-regarded ecosystem training - often happens when the class moves faster than individual students and the students become so far behind the rest of the group they can't keep up. Smaller steps allow the class to proceed as a group, enable the group to discuss each step in detail, and increase the chances of everyone getting through every exercise.
