Hi! I'm Jeremy Goff a lifelong musician, artist, and collections manager. I am interested in advancing educational instruction with blockchain technology, virtual reality, and WEB 3. Through these technologies we can now see a world where inclusivity and transparency will make a new model in instructional media and techniques. A world where are students are fully engaged in curriculum through "gamification" and "learn to earn" models. Blockchain technology can be a great new tool to empower our youth with the knowledge needed for a fast moving future.
