“Unlock the Block: Blockchain 101” uses a case study approach to demonstrate what blockchain technology can do and how it can fit into existing business practices across industries.

The DriveIT Public Workshop Series is designed to offer the experiential learning approach we offer our member organizations and individuals to anyone in Northeast Ohio. This 2-session workshop first establishes a baseline in order to understand blockchain by discussing the motivations behind blockchain, a high-level overview of blockchain technology, and a review of its history. Focus then shifts in the second session to the business advantages of blockchain technology and case studies of blockchain implementations from various industry verticals.

DriveIT is happy to offer this 2-session workshop at no charge as part of Blockland Cleveland. They are proud to be involved with Blockland Cleveland and excited to do their part in helping this effort bring economic development to Northeast Ohio.

This 2-session workshop will cover many specific topics, including:

• Bitcoin
• Double-spend
• Ethereum
• Smart contracts
• Public/consortium/private blockchains
• Business/enterprise centered blockchains (Hyperledger, etc.)
• Case studies of real-world blockchain applications
