Monash Blockchain Hackathon 2021
The Monash Blockchain Hackathon 2021, jointly organised by Monash Blockchain Technology Centre and Algorand Foundation, drew to a close in August. With over 90 participants from around the world, the finale saw six teams selected for the final judging round. The overarching theme was ‘Blockchain for social good’ with subtopics of education, building, energy and digital health.
The winning team chose education and its project was called 'Better learning for evolving brains’. It was a blockchain-based all-in-one platform for schools which enabled better tracking of performance to incentivise teachers to share resources and encourage students to engage and improve their work. It also aimed to promote fairer wages for teachers in developing countries.
Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who participated in the hackathon this year!
