Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that allows secure and tamper-proof transactions between parties without the need for intermediaries. It ensures data integrity and immutability, making it the ideal solution for industries that require the utmost transparency such as finance, healthcare, and logistics. However, it’s potential usage goes beyond these domains as businesses are finding ways to incorporate this technology into their operations to optimize efficiency and drive innovation.
Hackathons, often associated with the tech industry, are events that bring a diverse group of people together to solve complex problems within a given time frame. The S2bconnected approach by EDULab takes this concept a step further. In a secure environment, teams are encouraged to create Minimum Viable Product (MVP)-like first draft applications as solutions to presented challenges.
The beauty of this approach is twofold. First, it allows companies to develop potential solutions within their environment, mitigating reputational risk that can come from external product development. Second, it leverages the creative potential of their workforce, promoting a culture of innovation and problem-solving.
Furthermore, companies have the option to invite external participants such as universities, partners, or startups. This cross-pollination of ideas can lead to fresh perspectives and innovative solutions, further enhancing the benefits of the EDULab’s S2bconnected approach. In this way, a Hackathon can serve as a catalyst not just for idea generation, but for fostering a culture of continuous innovation and learning.
EDULab’s concept LERAN – TRAIN – ADOPT has been used for three years at the University of Applied Sciences by Jana Bulkin, where she is bringing new technologies within the university space as an assistant lecturer.
In the classroom, blockchain is taught as a foundational technology to students across various fields, such as business, engineering, and computer science. Learning the basics of blockchain, including how it works, its key characteristics, and use cases, creates a solid foundation for students to build their knowledge on. With the help of platforms like MLSeed, a Blockchain Platform as a Service, students can explore the full potential of this technology in a sandbox environment.
By providing students with access to a platform to experiment with Solidity, the programming language used to build smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, educators can empower students to leverage the power of blockchain to develop decentralized applications or dApps. These dApps can be used in various contexts, such as supply chain management, identity verification systems, and peer-to-peer lending.
Through hackathon-style activities, students can form teams and apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. By ideating and pitching their use cases, they can boost their creativity and problem-solving capabilities, giving them a competitive edge in their respective industries. With the right guidance, they can unlock the potential of blockchain to drive digital transformation across various domains.
Food for thought: Are you thinking about using blockchain? Start by creating awareness and a general understanding of the potential and opportunities of blockchain. Attend a workshop in advance if you are unsure whether Blockchain can be usefully applied in your industry or company. S2BC:academy may be a good choice.
Blockchain is no longer a buzzword thrown around only in technical circles. It has the potential to spark innovation and disruption across industries.
