Education

Inspire future
leaders

Anthony Andrews, student at Bowie State University

We nurture talent pipelines by working with educational institutions to inspire future leaders to advocate for inclusive digital financial systems.


Through the Interledger NextGen Open Payments program we work with education institutions to co-design and implement an Open Payments curriculum, as well as providing real-world opportunities that highlight careers in open technology.

 

Opportunities include: 

  • Open Payments curriculum as standalone or integrated modules within education programs.
  • Professional networking and speaking opportunities at the Interledger Summit.
  • Micro Internships and Scholars Programs, linking students with organizations within the Interledger Ecosystem.
  • Hackathons which bring together students, professionals and open-source developers.


“We empower the next generation of entrepreneurs with the necessary skills in order to build the applications that are going to power the future.”

–Alan Davids, Senior Lecturer at University of Cape Town

”Interledger is acting like a bridge now in making payments easier. Wherever you are in the world, you can make your payment as if you are sending an email.“

–Anthony Owolabi, Bowie State Student
