Thanks to your ongoing support, Summer STEPS was a success! SOSA virtually delivered a riveting workshop introducing students to the concept of Blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Our curious young participants were excited to learn the concepts and fundamentals of cryptocurrency and blockchain, and how it could be applied to real-world scenarios. They then applied these concepts to an interactive game by hashing (hashing is a common term when discussing blockchain technology that involves transformation and generation of input data!).
Through an engaging Q&A session, they also learned about the career track, job duties and educational background on becoming a Data Scientist.
We are happy to report that our students were excited to learn how ledgers worked and what blockchain meant! One student remarked - “I didn't know that there were so many aspects to creating an NFT, like using block chain”.
SOSA continues to expose students to new and exciting cutting-edge technologies and we are happy to report that 100% of participating students are looking forward to another innovative STEPS workshop!
Thank you for your continued support!
