Our goal is to bring actual knowledge to students, who are willing to practically expand their skills regarding the development of smart contracts and decentralized applications on the blockchain. Therefore, we organize a three-day autumn school which will focus on the blockchain basics, smart contracts, Ethereum platform, Solidity programming language, decentralized applications, web3.js, the usage of Oracle and the Truffle tool.
The selected candidates will be grouped into teams of three or four members. After introductory presentations and lectures, teams will compete in the design and development of a prototype solution based on the challenge provided by ECTA. The final presentation of prototype solutions is scheduled between October 8 and October 12, 2018. The best team(s) will receive a cash reward. Award fund is 1,000.00 EUR and 50,000 ECTA Pay Tokens.
