Blockchain is one of the most talked-about technologies at present. It has the potential to drive major changes and create new opportunities across industries. Blockchain is a technology that facilitates the digital exchange of units of value. Anything from currencies to land titles to votes can be tokenized, stored, and exchanged on a blockchain network.
To give the students insight into this Blockchain technology, AAC conducted a Workshop on BlockChain Technology collaborating with TCS. It was an online training program which was conducted from 5th April 2022 to 11th April 2022. A total of 5 sessions were taken to share the knowledge to students about the emerging technology and to teach them the basics of BlockChain its applications.
