Hello Steem Family,

I (@cryptogecko) have started this community with the goal of providing education to all the members and non-members of SAGE Academy in areas that are highly in demand these days and if the students get education in these areas, they can get benefits in terms of rewards on the Steem blockchain when they create posts on these topics, or they can start providing their services to their clients and charge a sum of money.

So this is a win-win situation for both the students and the Steemit platform, as both get something out of this initiative at the end. The students get the knowledge that empowers them financially and the Steemit platform gets the high quality content that is exclusively posted on the Steemit platform.

If you want to know more about our community, you can read this introduction post, where we have explained how the community is going to work and what is the purpose of creating this community in the first place.

In this post, we are going to put out the areas in which tutorials will be posted by our professors and the students who participate in learning and creating content in these areas will be rewarded by Steem tokens and votes.

So, let us see what areas we are covering through our community efforts:
