[Year 12 SofDev] Blockchain Education outreach opportunity

[Tran, Vi V]

Hi Vic
 Our school Mullana College is interested. Is it a free incursion
where they train students - is it like app making as I am not too
sure what is blockchain technology.

Thanks

Hi everyone!

Yesterday I had an amazing meeting with Chami Akmeemana<https://www.linkedin.com/in/chami1/?midToken=AQHkAXTC6sDzKg&trk=eml-email_inmail_initial_single_01-null-5-null&trkEmail=eml-email_inmail_initial_single_01-null-5-null-null-b6k4b7~jspnc5p8~9j-null-neptune%2Fprofile~vanity%2Eview> 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.

"We are two Canadian blockchain companies based out of Toronto and 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 high schools projects have been featured in the news including Forbes:

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
