The Kernel Gaming Track¶
The Kernel Gaming Track has the same Core Learning Objectives as the Kernel Learn Track, with a greater focus on those building games and other incentivized systems in Web 3.
After each module in the Learn Track, we will share a few more articles that will hopefully deepen your appreciation of the learnings, this time in a gaming context. We'll supplement these with Firesides with invited guest speakers, plus juntos among our peer mentors.
Structure¶
-
The Core Learning will contain a brief summary of one of the topics in the Learn Track for the given week. It's intended to be a quick recap for those who didn't have the time to go through the whole module.
-
The Crafted Reading is a set of articles to broaden our knowledge of the Core Learning. We hope you'll read them before each Fireside as they'll be the points of discussion.
-
The Curated Material will be a collection of other links that should be helpful for those who want to dive deeper. They will cover a wider range of topics related not just to the Core Learning but to the week's whole Learn Track module.
Timing¶
-
Firesides are held weekly on Wednedays 10 AM EST. Click Here to add it to your calendar đ
-
The general structure of Firesides will be a 20-minute on-stage discussion of the Core Learning and Crafted Reading material, followed by a breakout activity.
-
Throughout the course of each week, we will also have a number of smaller conversations on a variety of themes. These conversations are hosted between you and other members of your cohort, because we learn best from our own peers.

Here's a relevant quote (and a game!) from one of my favorite game designers:
Your interpretation of the game is more important than my intentions.
