Community learning is one of the best and most motivating ways to level up. MetricsDAO hosts workshops on data analytics for members and the broader public, and true to our focus on measurable outcomes we follow them up with a survey.

Our first workshop was by our esteemed member Hildobby, who gave us an introduction into using Dune Analytics to extract information on NFTs and present them in a snazzy dashboard.

We had a pre- and post-workshop survey. The pre-workshop survey focused on timing of the workshop and attracted significantly more participation than the one after the workshop, where only a single member took part.

Here are the results: Metrics DAO — Workshop 1 Survey (google.com)

We learned that a majority of the 11 survey participants had previous experience with blockchain technology and NFTs but few had previous Data Analysis experience and even fewer had used Dune Analytics before. This was expected since the workshop was introductory.

The workshop was well received overall with some time-zone issues reported. Finding a time that works for everyone becomes 3D chess with an audience that is spread out across the whole globe. Someone always gets the graveyard shift, and good practice demands rotating event times to escape time-zone-centrism. That being said, all the survey participants expressing a time preference picked evening on UTC.

The workshop hit the right tone, thanks Hildobby, and was characterised as Intermediate by 55% and as Beginner by 45%. An overwhelming majority (90%) wants to see additional workshops and deeper focus on NFTs in the future.

Only 30% felt ready to join the mentors circle and coach other members on their analytics journey.

The workshop’s recording also marked the beginning of the MetricsDAO YouTube channel, which you can subscribe to here:
