Education
Start from zero.
Education is the entry point to St Andrews Blockchain, no prior knowledge required. Student-run weekly meetings cover the basics.
Weekly meetings
Students accepted into the education stream work through the fundamentals of blockchain for ten weeks. No prior experience needed.
Talks
We run talks, interviews and events throughout the semester. These bring in industry figures, founders, and researchers to share what they're working on with us.
Your article
Every student writes their own article, putting new knowledge into practice. We select the strongest articles for On The Block, our flagship, semesterly magazine.
