Hey everybody, today I have an exciting new movement to talk with you about today called the Steem Education Initiative.
As you probably know, I created the brand @Cryptokraze over six months ago and have been making regular efforts to help other Steemians by sharing my knowledge of trading and cryptocurrencies on a daily basis with my posts.
In fact, I've found the Steem community to be extremely supportive in growing here on this platform and the thought has come to me on several occasions that it would be nice to give back and share what I've learned with others. This is why I had the idea to offer training in how to operate on the Steem blockchain and use the Steemit social networking site to improve life.
The SEI was created because everybody deserves a chance at a better life and cryptocurrency markets are creating a unique opportunity for people to engage with a new digital economy and capitalize by contributing to a brighter digital future.
What is the Steem Education Initiative?
The Steem Education Initiative is an organization centered around educating university students around the world about the blockchain technology, the Steem blockchain and digital publishing on the Steemit social network. Its mission is to engage students in thoughtful discussions focused around improvement of English writing skills and the training necessary to publish content onto the Steem blockchain. This Initiative will enable students to have better lives by trainings given by us and managing their study expenses.

After sharing my idea with @ADSactly and other Steem community members I decided it was finally time to act upon this goal and schedule training with students from a local university here in Pakistan. I was supported in this effort by 
I would like to let everyone know that I recently conducted the SEI's first training session and it was a huge success! Below I'd like to talk about my experience and show you a few pictures from the training session.
Amazing Response from Students was Welcomed by SEI
Initially, the idea of steem education was a raw thought and I had a little discussion with few students to know what is in their mind. The response from students was good that encouraged me to act upon this idea to make it a reality. After the first brief on steem, I was expecting about 10 students to show up in 1st training session. To my surprise, I got amazing response and 22 students appeared for training session. They were warmly welcome to start their amazing journey at Steem platform by SEI.
