It's a tough call for a relatively short term project
Yes, my hope is that [1] each student will learn something meaningful just through the process of trying to create something of value for others and [2] some students will choose to continue developing or maintaining whatever they start for the class.
are you giving them the option to use other Blockchains too....?
Not this semester. It is an experimental course, so I am trying to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible.
Oh it's a whole course?
Very interesting!
It's a 1-credit-hour course. We might expand it to a 3-credit-hour course next year.
