Create disruptive applications using bitcoin and/or the blockchain

The CCN is hosting a month-long hackathon, the Borderless Block Party, for current high school and undergraduate students aimed at creating the next generation of solutions utilizing both bitcoin and blockchain technologies. The event starts Nov 1st and ends the 30th.

Why are we doing this?

The last decade has seen the rise of remarkable new decentralized technologies that both, eradicate barriers and empower individuals. Today anyone can create anything in collaboration with anyone around the globe, thanks to these new technologies. We want to display these amazing technologies with the Borderless Block Party and show to the world what the new paradigm of collaboration and production looks like.

What Technologies will you use?

Apart from the obvious one (the WWW), you will be utilizing innovative new technologies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and other Blockchain related products. In addition, you are also encouraged to use alternatives to the WWW, such as IPFS. Overall, we want to engage participants of the Block Party with new and innovative technologies to help them kickstart a bright future in this space.
