Hi, this is Richard Jacobs with Future Tech Podcast.

Today, my guests are Aaron Schwartz, Director of Engagement at the Blockchain Education Network,

and Michael Gord, Director of Technology of the Blockchain Education Network, and Michael Gourd, Director of Technology, the Blockchain

Education Network. And Mike also has a couple other functions that he'll describe. But welcome,

guys. Thank you for coming. Yeah, thanks for having us. All right, no problem. So would you

give listeners an overview? What does the blockchain education network do? We're a decentralized

nonprofit organization that's dedicated to educating students and giving them the resources and

support they need to become leaders in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry. So we do a bunch of distributed events all over the world,

giving our students' opportunities to go to cool, you know, hackathons, conferences,

workshops, and different things related to cryptocurrency.

Are you guys finding that, when you say students, first of all, is this high school or is this

college?

Yeah, go ahead.

It's majority university students that make up the network.

Like a lot of the regions are at university campuses, but then also some of the regions

are led by young professionals, and it's pretty exciting.
