Treasury Proposal: Polkadot Fem T3ch Hackerhouse @ EthDenver

Our Vision

In the spirit of fostering inclusivity and diversity within the blockchain and web3 space, our vision is to help women attend their first web3 conference, learn about innovative blockchain solutions and participate in their first Hackathon. We will not only help those women hack but bring together other women attending the conference for engaging panels and hands on technical + non-technical workshops introducing them to Polkadot and the ecosystem. Our goal is to foster the growth of women founders, investors, and developers in web3. Whether it’s their first hackathon or their tenth, we want to create a safe, inclusive and engaging space for them to innovate and participate. 

Success Metrics:

1. Educate and engage 100+ people (with majority being women+) about Polkadot and it’s ecosystem through our workshops.
2. Facilitate the activation of 50 new Polkadot wallets within our target demographic.
3. Onboard 50 individuals to Polkadot NFTs through live activations.
4. Educate about builder resources and connect those interested in building on Polkadot to opportunities
5. Achieve 10 sign-ups from women for Polkadot's Blockchain Academy program
