Deepening Metaverse Skills & Expanding Kenyan Creators*
1. Project Overview
Building on the successful Series 1 cohort, SANDBOX KENYA SERIES 2 will focus on upskilling creators, introducing Advanced Voxel Edit and Game maker, and empowering Series 1 participants. This 4-week virtual program will introduce intermediate-to-advanced Game Maker mechanics, advanced VoxEdit asset creation, and Game maker.. We aim to support 30–40 creators (new and returning),
2. Problem Statement
Series 1 revealed a strong creative interest—but most creators lack follow-up support in:
- Advanced game Maker and Voxel Edit
- Monetization and Marketplace publishing
- DAO navigation for grant funding and long-term growth
Without a structured continuation, talented graduates risk stagnation or exit from the ecosystem.
3. Solution & Program Structure
4-Week Advanced Bootcamp Includes:
- Advanced Workshops: Game Maker logic, LAND design, NFT pricing, Marketplace uploads
- Mentorship Pipeline : Series 1 alumni as mentors + live peer critiques
- Pitch Building : Each creator develops a DAO-style pitch deck
- Final Demo Day: Showcase of LAND and asset submissions
