Academy provides an excellent opportunity to reward people for learning measurably in CODE. If we issued monthly (or even) more regular rewards in CODE for people who have complete tracks and we marketed this opportunity, it would significantly increase the academy's adoption. I understand we have accounts already and are tracking lessons and track completion. If we were to start marketing CODE rewards for completing academy tracks, it would also incentivise bots and people looking to game the system.
Some ideas for mitigating this:
Integrate Gitcoin passport
Integrate your passport and set a threshold for eligibility for rewards. I like this approach as it dogfoods a Gitcoin product, thus getting us closer to an important partner. The lessons from this could translate into a lesson/track on the academy for doing the same, potentially part of a course we may be able to secure funding for from Gitcoin.
Integrate email
This would help; however, from experience, it is easy for bots to create thousands of emails/wallets and then a script to auto-complete courses, so it is not the most viable IMO (though emails are essential IMO)
