Kick Off
UW Blockchain Society presents a keynote speech followed by a detailed agenda.
Join via Zoom LinkUW Blockchain Society is excited to present our first-ever Hackathon and Expo event
weekend, to be held at our University of Washington campus in Bothell, WA. The first two
days will be the Hackathon and is for students to create
software solutions with a focus on blockchain.
To conclude this exciting weekend, we will have our Blockchain Expo. Back by popular
demand from the success of last year, our Blockchain Expo provides an education based
expo featuring a variety of topics such as social media, a
debate on bitcoin, use cases, diversity in blockchain, and crypto taxes. Most blockchain
conferences cost $500+ and we wanted to provide an accessible option for students
especially since there is extremely high interest regarding
blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Our mission statement is to educate people in PNW about the fundamental mechanisms that
power blockchain technology. We hope to create a friendly environment for all types of
majors to join us!
These are some example tracks to choose from, we will have other challenges to be announced on the day of our event.
The most useful blockchain hack. This is something like a financial product (e.g. “decentralized online bank account”, or “buy and sell stocks”) a new digital currency that has some unique value (you can only spend it on books?) or maybe you want to create secure online voting. This challenge is for you to shine while you save the world!
The most useless blockchain hack. We want to see the funniest and faddiest blockchain apps. If you want to build an ICO for cats, Dogecoin V2, TikTok-but-for-some-reason-its-on-blockchain... well you get it! If you make us laugh AND your useless hack achieves a useless goal (it’s got to actually do something) we give you cash money! Turn this hackathon into a wackathon for the memes.
If you just want to do your thing and learn about blockchain, or use our simple account system with whatever you build, we will cheer you on! You can get this prize just for using one of our libraries in your hack.
We will be updating this schedule with workshops. Stay tuned for future announcements!

Blockchain is a digital, public ledger that records online transactions. As it’s name
suggests, a blockchain is made up of a series of “blocks.” The blockchain software
records each transaction in a block without the aid of a third party like a bank or
payment processor.
