Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Purpose:

The correct use of a blockchain platform for the creation of an art gallery in NFT format that allows the school's social participation project to continue.

Objectives:

- Document and research different blockchain platforms.
- Select the optimal platform for the creation of an Art gallery in NFT.
- Design and creation of digital artworks.
- Carry out the exhibition of the gallery of works of art.
- Support low-income people with the resources obtained from the gallery.

Supporting research

It is important to develop servant leadership in students, which encourages critical thinking and the ability to change the world around them. For this, we have run for years a social participation program that supports different causes, from orphanages to hospitals. We have looked for different ways to generate income that allow us to support these causes, the most recent being the sale of NTF's.

NFTs have proven to be a source of income for different artists, creating a new line of unique content accessible for people around the world.
