The Web3 Engineering track is a 12-week remote educational fellowship run by Major League Hacking. Fellows learn to build on blockchains such as Solana, work in Pods of 6–12 people, and contribute to real-world projects with professional mentors.
The Fall 2026 cohort requires 20 hours per week and runs from September 14 to December 4, 2026. The program combines technical practice with collaboration and career preparation.
