Blockchain. High-Tech future

Interest in this technology has grown along with the popularity of cryptocurrencies. Blockchain is used for financial transactions, user identification and the creation of digital security technologies.

Literally, a blockchain is a continuous chain of blocks. As part of the module, we will teach the basic principles of the technology in simple words, and in practice children will understand how it works. Let's find out what miners do and get acquainted with the concepts: transaction, distributed registry, block, chain.

The module program at the First International CyberSchool was developed with the participation of IT professionals specifically for children.

“The whole point of using a blockchain is to let people — in particular, people who don't trust one another — share valuable data in a secure, tamperproof way.”
