who has come over from Canada to make connections with Australian schools
about  Blockscale Solution <https://blockscalesolutions.com/>'s global
blockchain program for high schools.

currently work with several schools in Canada and the US (including an
online program). Our sister company is a UN and government partner
operating in 14 cities globally and have won several awards. Some of our

We discussed putting together a blockchain training session and "Hackathon"
competition this year. We could incorporate a variety of schools in
Victoria.

Let me know if you are interested.
Cheers,
Vic
