According to Tim Draper, director of Draper University, the partnership could be the key to unlocking the digital potential of traditional sectors.
“The metaverse has the ability to completely change entertainment and education as we know it. We at Draper University are incredibly excited to partner with CEEK to both support its growth, with a House of Hacker, first VR builder, and to launch our virtual campus, adding a new dimension to entrepreneurial education,” he said.
Asra Nadeem, CEO of Draper University, believes the collaboration is a clear indication of the institution’s position as a pioneering brand.
“This is a completely unique experience for the selected VR builders. Being in the top 20 means you’ve already won. They will have the chance to stay on campus, in the heart of Silicon Valley, learn from Draper U veterans and fight for more money, prizes and tokens, thanks to CEEK. The experience will be incredible and what is created will be shared with millions of users on the platform,” added Nadeem.
CEEK CEO Mary Spio believes that the collaboration will create room for groundbreaking innovations.
“We are thrilled to partner with Draper University because of the opportunity to leverage their network and expertise in accelerating blockchain ecosystems. The novelty of creating a hacker house-style program for builders on campus with a truly vibrant cohort made sense.” In addition to building entertainment properties in the metaverse, we’re excited about what shape the learning experiences will take. That’s why we’ve partnered with DraperU on its entrepreneurship-focused programs as a platform provider,” he said.
The “House of CEEK” VR construction program will run from Oct. 17 to Nov. 11, 2022,
and applications are now open at www.draperuniversity.com/ceek.
