Bringging young people exciting opportunities in the blockchain space is our jam ;)

Bitfwd is working with the Blockchain Olympiad Committees of Australia, Brazil, China, Israel, and New Zealand for the 2020 International Blockchain Olympiad (IBCOL 2020).

Anticipating projects from dozens of countries and territories, IBCOL 2020 will be held from July 3rd to 5th in Hong Kong. In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, IBCOL 2020 will include novel online elements for contestants that are unable to travel.

Gabriel Chan, Program Manager @ IBCOL:

We are very fortunate to work with an organization as passionate and visionary as bitfwd in bringing the IBCOL platform to the students in these corners of the world. Our values of onboarding students are well aligned as seen from the track record of both organizations that have longstanding working programs with student organizations and universities.

Daniel Bar, Founder @ bitfwd:

Bitfwd is super happy to support IBCOL’s initiative, long before the Blockchain days started the concept of Olympiads for math, chemistry and physics have been a great catalyst to encourage excellence and celebrate the advancement of knowledge, it’s only fitting that the Blockchain industry will have a platform through which more young people are encouraged to showcase their achievements and celebrate innovation. Looking forward for this campaign!

Most countries are still accepting applications for IBCOL 2020. Sign up via ibcol.org/2020/#submit and direct your inquiries to pmo@ibcol.org or your local IBCOL chapter or committee.

IBCOL is an annual competition that invites current and recent students from across the world to propose solutions to real-world challenges using blockchain technology. Past participants have moved on to internship, employment, and investment opportunities around the world.

Bitfwd is a grassroots community of cypherpunks, Blockchain developers, entrepreneurs, and crypto enthusiasts, who bring together resources, content and educational activities. Bitfwd makes Blockchain accessible to everyone!
