What Learn, Burn, Earn, Fun Actually Means at Network School
A detailed breakdown of Network School's four pillars: Learn, Burn, Earn, and Fun. Understand what each pillar involves and how members engage.
Learn: Courses and Skill Building
The Learn pillar covers structured education in AI and cryptocurrency.
The Learn pillar covers structured education in AI and cryptocurrency. Two main tracks exist: the Programmers track for developers who want to build on-chain applications and work with AI APIs, and the Power Users track for non-technical members who want practical fluency in these tools. Courses run on a rolling basis, and new content is added regularly. Members also organize their own classes, sharing expertise in topics ranging from design thinking to fundraising to language learning. The learning culture extends beyond formal courses into daily conversations, workshops, and hackathons. NFT credentials are issued for course completion.
Burn: Fitness and Health
Burn is the fitness pillar, and it is taken seriously. The flagship offering is the Morning Burn, a 6 AM HIIT workout that runs daily. Additional HIIT sessions are available throughout the day for members who prefer different times. The campus includes a gym, sauna, and cold plunge facilities. Meals follow Bryan Johnson's Blueprint nutrition protocol, designed around longevity and performance. Fitness progress is tracked through the NS Combine, a standardized test that measures strength, endurance, and flexibility. Members receive data on their physical progress over time, creating accountability and motivation.
Earn: Building and Funding
The Earn pillar focuses on productive output. Members are encouraged to build projects, launch products, and contribute to the ecosystem during their time at NS. Hackathons, often sponsored by protocol teams like Solana and Monad, give members opportunities to build and win prizes. The NS Fellowship program offers up to $100,000 in funding for promising projects that emerge from the community. The coworking cafe provides dedicated workspace, and the community itself serves as an instant user base and feedback loop for new ideas.
Fun: Community and Recreation
Fun rounds out the four pillars and is not an afterthought. It includes organized social events, trips to Singapore, beach outings, game nights, and cultural activities. Speaker sessions bring in guests from the tech, crypto, and startup worlds. Community dinners, celebrations for different cultural holidays, and spontaneous gatherings happen regularly. The Fun pillar recognizes that sustainable productivity requires rest and social connection. Members who engage with Fun tend to stay longer and report higher satisfaction.
