*We Launch the Blockchain Academy!*
The BitShares Blockchain Foundation (BBF) initiates the Blockchain Academy Project which aims to provide the BitShares Testnet to students for educational purposes.
Saxion University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands is the first university to team up with BBF to participate in the project. The main objective of the Blockchain Academy is to familiarize students with the possibilities of the BitShares Blockchain. Possible research topics range from working on market making strategies and the application of UIAs and MPAs, to build APIs and develop products on top of the BitShares Blockchain to help expand the functionality of the Blockchain. By making students acquainted with the BitShares Blockchain, we intend to stimulate them to become future ambassadors of the network. Saxion is the first use case to show the possibilities of such a collaboration, motivating other universities worldwide to use the Blockchain Academy is an enhancement of their curricula.

Good job you're doing there. Great to see things moving forward in such positive fashion!
@cryptographic I agree! This is a great initiative to make this great blockchain techonoly grow, and make students to get focus on this while they are studying so they can start applying their knowledge. Upvoted your comment. @gold84
@bitshares.fdn as I just mentioned to @cryptographic this is a great initiative to make students focus on this great technology while they are studying and they will be able to add great value. Upvoted. @gold84
Awesome initiative!
When will it be deployed (when will the students be able to actually sign up for this course)?
Have you already developed the course syllabus or is it only an announcement of future project and the work starts now?
Who are the qualified teachers that will teach this course (seriously, where did you find enough people who truly understand blockchain, let alone bitshares AND also can teach?)
Not cynical, serious questions.
Very cool! Is this only applicable for Dutch students?
Great update for bitcoin info and good analyses .

That's pretty cool. Finally something to be proud at as a Dutchman :p
BBF should team up with University of the Philippines.
