ABOUT THE EVENT

Blockchain Olympiad Bangladesh 2021

The Blockchain Olympiad Bangladesh (BCOLBD) 2021 is a platform for university students to solve real-world problems with decentralized applications, built with blockchain or distributed ledger technology.

In a nationwide hunt for blockchain talent, Blockchain Olympiad Bangladesh combines the practicality of case competitions with the open-ended problem-solving culture of hack-a-thons, where participants first write a whitepaper to describe a complete solution and are required to create a poster board and pitch a presentation. This competition structure rewards the students who can critically think about a problem and explain the solution to others in a coherent manner.

Why Join Us

The policy makers, teachers, industry executives and students will benefit from participating in Blockchain Olympiad Bangladesh and attending exhibits, seminars, keynotes, and networking events besides observing the actual competitions. This will foster a genuine interest in blockchain technology and make everyone ready for this important pillar of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).
