Streams

To cater to different audiences and interests, the 2019 Summer Institute schedule is divided into three "streams". These are only guidelines, and participants can still choose to attend the sessions that will best complement their learning goals and skills. However, the lab spaces may be limited, so if you are interested in the Developer or Advanced Developer streams you may want to sign up early. 

The General stream is for students of all disciplines who want to gain a broad understanding of the social, business, economic, legal, political and information governance implications of blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies, and establish a basic understanding of the technical elements of four different blockchain protocols (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Hyperledger Indy).

The Introductory Developer stream is designed to provide some middle-ground between the General and Advanced Developer streams. This stream is designed for students that want to gain both a more general understanding of blockchain technologies and some specific knowledge on developing on major blockchain platforms. Students in this stream have the flexibility to customize their program based on their interests, with options to participate in either the General stream sessions, or the Advanced Developer stream sessions.

The Advanced Developer stream is for experienced developers seeking to gain a deep understanding of coding on the Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Hyperledger Indy platforms.

Students may choose to participate in the entire two week program, or to pick and choose the sessions that best suit their specific learning goals.  Those signed up for the entire two week program will automatically be registered for the “Blockathon for Social Good” (June 6 & 7) and the Annual Conference, featuring acclaimed blockchain thought leaders and researchers from around the world and industry network opportunities.
