Reaching the end of your first Bitcoin Diploma cohort is a milestone worth celebrating. You and your students have completed a journey of learning, discovery, and empowerment, and that deserves recognition.
A graduation ceremony is more than just a formality; it’s a celebration of growth, both personal and collective. It reinforces the sense of community and reminds everyone involved that education is the foundation of freedom. You can host the ceremony wherever it feels meaningful, in your classroom, at a local café, or any space that reflects the spirit of your project.
Prepare certificates for your students as a tangible symbol of their achievement. You can easily customize this template in Canva (either the English version or the Spanish version). If you are using the Online School, you can also generate Certificates of Knowledge and custom certificate templates directly through the platform with a ready to use template.
Reviewing these resources carefully will help streamline the process and ensure consistency across all issued certificates.
Graduations are also powerful opportunities to share your story. Capture photos or short videos, invite local media or community members, and post your experience online using the hashtag #MyFirstBitcoinGraduation. Celebrating your students publicly inspires others to join, learn, and even start their own classes. That’s how grassroots education grows.
Whether big or small, your first graduation marks the proof of your Open Source Bitcoin Education in action, knowledge shared freely, changing lives one class at a time. After finishing new cohorts, the next step is to send the amount of graduates to arnold@myfirstbitcoin.org so it can be included in our Bitcoin Education Dashboard.
You can use the same email to request Arnold’s participation as a guest speaker on behalf of My First Bitcoin for online graduations or X Spaces, helping celebrate milestones and connect local efforts with the broader network!
