The Academy offers two distinct educational programs that cater to the diverse needs of blockchain enthusiasts and developers : PBA-X and PBA Campus. PBA-X is an online program designed for both developers and non-developers, making blockchain fundamentals accessible to everyone. PBA Campus takes a more advanced approach with its immersive in-person programs tailored specifically for developers.

Designed for blockchain and web2 developers exploring web3, the program offers hands-on training with Polkadot’s tech stack, empowering participants to build innovative blockchain solutions. Renowned Polkadot experts, including Dr. Gavin Wood, will lead key sessions, providing students with the tools to become web3 innovators.
