Blockchain for Kids: A Journey with ‘DuckChain Quest’, Mind Attic, TinyTap, and OpenCampus
Introducing blockchain to kids via immersive storytelling, our novel approach transforms traditional education, shaping future learning.
The Spark of Rebellion
Every story has a beginning, and the saga of Mind Attic was born from a spark of rebellion — a dream to break free from the shackles of conventional education.
This dream, held in the mind’s attic of a young learner, gradually took shape, eventually materializing as an educational revolution.
Where Traditional Education Falls Short
Many an afternoon was spent in classrooms where the true essence of learning seemed forgotten as if lost in the echoes of traditional rote memorization.
Our report cards, often filled with red marks and disappointments, seemed to highlight our failures rather than celebrate our victories, pushing us into a learning vacuum.
It was here, in this void, that we recognized a critical absence of key life skills that are largely overlooked in conventional educational paradigms. These indispensable skills include:
- Communication: The ability to express our ideas clearly and persuasively.
- Emotional Intelligence: Recognizing and managing our own emotions and understanding the emotions of others.
- Financial Literacy: Understanding the basics of personal finance, investments, and economic principles.
- Understanding Diversity and Inclusion: The appreciation of different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives, and the ability to create inclusive environments.
- Grasping the Ever-evolving World of Technology: Keeping up with the latest technological advancements and understanding their implications in our daily lives.
- Acknowledging the Importance of Sustainability: Appreciating the need for balanced economic, social, and environmental systems for a sustainable future.
- Navigating Romantic Relationships: Acquiring the understanding and skills to initiate, build, and sustain healthy romantic relationships, emphasizing communication, mutual respect, and the ability to set and respect boundaries.
The Birth of Mind Attic
And so, from this wellspring of unfulfilled needs and latent potential, the seed of an idea was sown, eventually blossoming into Mind Attic.
Our mission, rooted in the realities of life and the future’s boundless possibilities, is to provide an education that goes beyond textbooks and test scores, one that truly equips children with the skills, knowledge, and resilience to navigate the complexities of the real world.
The Power of Innovative Education Platforms
Our ambitions align beautifully with pioneering platforms like TinyTap and Open Campus. With them as our inspiration, we’ve crafted “DuckChain Quest: Find the Quacker!”. This initial lesson is not just a concept — it’s now a reality, already featured on the TinyTap platform.
Our first lesson shows immense potential to expand into a comprehensive course in the future.
The Magic of DuckChain
With a goal to make learning fun, we’ve created ‘DuckChain’. This playful style makes tough topics easy and enjoyable.
What’s more, kids don’t need to know a bunch of blockchain terms or projects. Our main goal is to help them understand how blockchain can solve real-world problems and how this can be useful for them in the future.

Transforming Learning with Interactivity
As our first educational game, came into existence, we faced the true challenge: to transform learning from a passive intake of information into an interactive adventure.
The Road Ahead for Mind Attic
Enriched by my varied life experiences and self-education, I have gained multiple professions and numerous skills. This diverse background makes me an ideal educator for the fast-paced, modern generations.
We aim to shape learners who aren’t just passively absorbing information. We want them to be active participants in their own learning journey.
Leveraging my technical problem-solving skills, storytelling, and content creation, I can constantly add more engaging courses to our roster. This approach fine-tunes the art of education through entertaining and enlightening content.
We’re committed to this dynamic journey. Our dedication is to make knowledge come alive in the most delightful and meaningful ways.
