Blockchain is well known as the supporting technology for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but few people understand its use and full potential in other applications and services. Blockchain has already disrupted the monetary exchange system and how we securely exchange data, audit, transact, and verify authenticity. Blockchain is now disrupting every sector from banking to health to media. It is impacting and changing sectors that depend on security, transaction, value-in-use, data exchange, auditing, engagement and trust.
Global experts, technologists and innovators continue to discover new and novel uses for a technology platform originally used for cryptocurrencies and already the nascent uses of blockchains are having a profound impact in the way we design and develop products and services.
About This Course
In this course you will learn the essentials of the blockchain, the technology, the concept of the distrubuted ledger and the different opensource platforms, technologies and SDKs that can be used to develop new products and services.
This 5 day design bootcamp and hackathon will give you a chance to learn about blockchain and to develop a business idea that you can then pitch.
Using proven design thinking techniques we show you how to use and apply design thinking principles that are vital in the development of desirable, feasible and viable products using the Blockchain.
We’ll work with you to take an initial concept, and using Blockchain technology, you'll develop a Minimal Viable Product (MVP). You’ll learn how to design and develop your MVP and then develop a pitch to raise funding and garner resources and support as you scale.
