THE VISION
Create the ultimate learning playground that will empower 1,000 students across schools in the Philippines to build educational experiences, teaching UX design, critical thinking, and digital skills in the process.
ABOUT METAVERSITY
Metaversity by YGG Pilipinas is a free educational platform designed to equip learners with practical skills for the digital economy. In as little as 10 weeks, participants can master essential skills in marketing, productivity, leadership, and more—opening doors to opportunities in Web3, AI, gaming, and emerging tech fields.
Through guided skill trees and unlockable programs, Metaversity offers flexible, on-demand learning focused on real-world applications. Participants learn directly from industry professionals, gaining practical insights and experience.
Metaversity connects learners to internships, gigs, and exclusive events, helping bridge the gap between learning and earning. Active participants earn rewards such as digital certificates, NFTs, and other incentives to celebrate their achievements.
IMPACT
In 2024, we did a Sandbox centric program with our chosen school partner, Sisters of Mary. Over five months, 200 students attended classes once a week to learn how to build on Sandbox. The end goal was to create a digital version of Bonifacio Global City (BGC), a dynamic financial district in Metro Manila, that blends modern architecture, business hubs, and vibrant lifestyle spots.
About the Beneficiary:
The Sisters of Mary School (SMS) provides free education and holistic care to underprivileged children, equipping them with the skills and values needed to break the cycle of poverty. Through this project, students from SMS gain hands-on experience in digital and creative industries, enhancing their technical skills and opening new pathways for future careers.
BIGGER AND BETTER. CREATING THE LEARNING PLAYGROUND WITH 1,000 STUDENTS.
Building on our 2024 pilot, where 200+ students from the Sisters of Mary School created a digital version of BGC (Taguig), we propose a $100,000 grant to transform our plot into a “Metaversity Campus.” It’s a great opportunity for students to envision what their “learning playground” would look like. This time, we will bring this program to 1,000 students from different schools across the Philippines.
Our LAND will be a dynamic Metaversity Campus dubbed as “The Learning Playground”. Students will create Metaversity’s learning playground according to their vision. Through the process they will learn how to masterplan and create assets on Sandbox.
By driving global visitors, we’ll elevate The Sandbox’s brand and establish Metaversity as a premier institution for metaverse learning.
PROPOSED EXECUTION:
Over the course of 12 months, we will produce and roll out learning programs and activities to onboard 1,000 students to create on Sandbox.
-
Together We Learn (TWL) Online Shows:
Weekly shows streamed on Discord (cross posted on X and Facebook) to showcase VoxEdit and Game Maker programs, student builds and invite visitors to explore building on our Sandbox LAND. Over 700 to 1,000 event attendees weekly. -
Sandbox Branded Crash Courses: Produce a new skill tree (5 videos) geared towards introductory Sandbox builder skills. Over 10,000 enrolled learners and growing since we launched in Feb 2025.
See existing certification courses here. Suggested topics for this program:
- Intro to UX Design
- 3D Modeling in VoxEdit
- Game Logic 101
- Player Engagement
- Asset Optimization
- Collaborative Design
- Metaversity 2-Week Residency: In place of our 8-week cohort based Marshal Program twice a year, each school partner or group will be assigned a 2-week residency in our Sandbox LAND to create their approved segment.
Residents will be required to accomplish Sandbox Crash Courses and come up with a build proposal before being granted residency.
After the 2 weeks are up, they will do extensive marketing distribution work: guest on TWL shows, run their own events to encourage visitors, create content to drive student ambassador programs.
In true YGG fashion, all residents will receive an NFT’s and SBT’s to commemorate their achievements.
