UC Berkeley’s Blockchain at Berkeley (B@B) has partnered with DigixGlobal to run a 1 day workshop on Ethereum Smart contracts. B@B is a student initiative providing computer science and engineering students with in-depth knowledge of blockchain development. This collaborative workshop is designed to introduce developers to the tools and opportunities that Digix provides and familiarize them with Digix’s vision for the future of blockchain development. Digix is an asset tokenization platform based out of Singapore and built on the Ethereum blockchain. They have spent the past 2 years developing open sourced tools and design patterns to make this fast paced space more accessible and enable developers to build new and innovative things.

Jonathan Allen, Co-Head of Consulting at B@B, says that “After noticing the unmet need in the industry for blockchain developers and entrepreneurs, we decided to start Blockchain at Berkeley and provide students with the requisite knowledge they need to succeed. We believe DigixGlobal, as a leading player in the space, will bring a wealth of knowledge and creativity that will inspire our members to develop projects they would not have come up with otherwise.”

Once students are familiar with the Digix development platform, they will be encouraged to come up with ideas and projects that utilize the Digix ecosystem. This workshop will provide hands-on experience for students to help them understand the current capabilities offered by Digix tools.

More information about the workshop can be found at facebook, B@B website, or Meet-up.

The workshop will be live streamed on B@B Facebook page at the time of the event.

Ronen Kirsh, Co-Head of Consulting, says that “After our first talk with Kai (Digix’s Co-Founder and CEO), we noticed there was an immediate alignment between the culture and aspiration of Blockchain at Berkeley and that of DigixGlobal, which is to create an ecosystem that voluntarily cooperates and work together for synergies. With similar goals and both organizations being extremely motivated to create an ecosystem of progress in this highly technical space, a collaboration makes perfect sense.”

Digix’s vision right from its inception was to help build a community and ecosystem on ethereum. This workshop fulfils a part of this vision and creates a pool of developers well versed in our open sourced tools.
