What a pleasure to know that I helped a teacher show this outright innovating and cool technology to their students right before their holiday break. This will definitely be part of their long-term memory now.
After watching the "What is Bitcoin" video from bitcoin dot org
Good move, but for the ones who want to dive in, consider suggesting them to watch this one:
But how does bitcoin actually work?Most importantly, though, the students had a blast. There were a few fires I had to put out late in the day as wallets started to become more and more lopsided balance wise.
Whenever you've run out of tBTC, you know
where to get more.
I figure if they can get comfortable with this technology now, by the time they are adults they will have no issues using the blockchain for whatever monetary adventure they end up getting themselves into.
If I am to be honest, though, I hope to see one of my students (particularly those who have already taken an interest in bitcoin and love coding) become a blockchain maintainer.
It would be extra special to know one of my students became a bitcoin dev!
