GAMAPRO stands for Gamagori Fan-to-Learn project.
This is the PoC (Proof-of-Concept) project which is planned and operated by DAOWORKS Co.,Ltd. , SunnyDAO and Gamagori city utilizing metaverse and web3(*1) technologies for city promotion. In 2023, we are operating this project at Gamagori Natural History Museum, Aichi, Japan.
This is the first project in the world with the goal of building DeSoc(2) for learners starting from a social education facility, and through events in the metaverse supervised by the science museum and art production events with awareness of marine debris and waste material issues, etc., a fan community for the science museum contents will be formed. The event will be held in the Metaverse supervised by the Science Museum. Those who participate in the event will receive an event participation certificate NFT (3), and as a reward for participating in the digital stamp rally to be held on a specific day, an NFT with a characterization of a specimen from the Science Museum will be distributed. In the digital community, NFTs will be used as proof of participation in the event, and incentives will be given according to the possession status.
We will increase opportunities for more people to come into contact with the Science Museum's content digitally, realize "Fan to Learn" (*4), which creates a community of people with an interest in the Museum, and take the first step toward "building DeSoc for learners, starting with social education facilities. We will take the first step toward "building DeSoc for learners, starting from social education facilities.
