Thank you so much for your interest in making this content @Ubaydah.
As we are revamping the WFC program, we are repriotizing issues, and we will need to close this one. I see it wasn't yet started due to problem installing Strapi, so I hope you did not spent too much time on it yet.
I'll close this issue for now, please reach out to me if you have any question, I am available on Strapi's Discord for every community member :)
