Answering questions about the previous program and comparison on SIP12 here:

**1. 2024 Pilot Program with students from the Sisters of Mary School**

> - What zas its budget ? Who funded it?
> - Besides an experience in TSB what is the outcome of it?
> - Do you have metrics about the number of student that are still builders?

- We ran the pilot program with a modest $24,000 campaign budget from The Sandbox brand.
- While the pilot proved impact, the structure was after-school and limited to the boarded high school students (ages 13–16) of Sisters of Mary School, making job placement less feasible.
- In contrast, this grant enables us to focus on university students and career shifters, a demographic ready for paid digital work.

**2 Metaversity’s proposal in comparison with SIP12**

> I am sure you are aware that we have already a program called Sandbox academy running in the Philippine based on SIP12 with @markbagogames. I would like that you comment on it as your proposal can be seen as redundand.

We admire what Mark has started with SIP12. Our intention is to build on top of it, expanding reach, improving structure, and aligning more deeply with Sandbox DAO’s education and ecosystem goals.

- Structure & Accountability.

- Geographic Scale.

- Clear Path to Opportunity.
