Great post! As a former high school and middle school STEM teacher. Computer Science education has been a passion of mine for some time now. I'm always saying to anyone who will listen that we must start today in order to prepare our young people to participate and lead in the next wave of innovation.

I was a high school teacher in Atlanta, GA from 2012 to 2014. This was the time when young people in the city began to craft the sound that dominates pop music heard all across the globe, today. Although we saw artists like Metro Boomin', Migos, and Young Thug go on to make millions, YouTube, SoundCloud and the likes were able to extract billions in value from these megastars as well as the lesser known artists, influencers, and curators that attracted users to these platforms.

I think blockchain technology represents a paradigm shift. Value creation and extraction will be much more democratic in the Web 3.0 era. Moreover, I think decentralized platforms will afford communities the opportunity build novel solutions to generational challenges. From banking to housing and healthcare, institutional racism within centralized institutions has led directly to the disparities we see in our communities today. Decentralized blockchain technology has the potential to give the power back to the people.

We must educate and organize so that we can be on the front lines of this innovation.
