Summary:
The “Block Chain Cup Challenge” was an event conducted by Curtin University Dubai. As an induction programme a workshop was organized on Monday, 22nd October 2018. Two teams from Year 12, WSU and WINBIZ had registered for the online challenge. The teams had to make digital presentations relating to 4 case studies on the most impactful way block chain technology can be used in various industries. Even though our teams did not get shortlisted to the top eight, the students found the event to be a knowledge enhancing experience as they received feedback on the creativity of the idea and the business plan.
