Introduction

The Development Cohort is an offering introduced in Spring 2023. This cohort allows students the opportunity to build new technology harnessing the possibilities of blockchain. Students will have the freedom to choose the tools they use each semester, while being exposed to a variety of blockchain-agnostic approaches. Through the program, students will work together (in a scrum fashion) to explore and build out their ideas, developing the skills and knowledge necessary to become successful blockchain developers. This collaborative approach to learning provides an invaluable experience for all students, preparing them for a future in software development.

The first cohort will accept between 5 to 7 students. Applications will open after the informational and will remain open for a week.


Prerequisites
