Introducton to Blockchain Workshop

​Join us for an engaging and beginner-friendly workshop in collaboration with Encode Hub, designed to demystify blockchain and explore the future of finance.

​We’ll start by taking a step back and exploring the history of the financial system — from early forms of money like copper and commodities, to the modern monetary system we rely on today. You’ll gain insight into why money works, how trust is created, and how financial systems have evolved over time.

​The session will then dive into how finance has become increasingly centralised, with major institutions holding significant control, and the challenges that come with this structure.

​From there, we’ll explore the origin of Bitcoin and the emergence of blockchain technology as a response to these challenges. You’ll learn:

• ​What blockchain is and how it works

• ​The core principles behind decentralisation

• ​How blockchain aims to address limitations in the current financial system

• ​Real-world applications and future potential

​To wrap up, there will be an opportunity for questions, discussion, and a quiz, giving you the chance to connect with like-minded students and explore the space further.
