At present, the hot blockchain entrepreneurial field has also attracted the participation of domestic universities. It is learned from Zhejiang University that this autumn, the School of Computer Science and the School of Software of Zhejiang University will offer a course called "Blockchain and digital currency" for some senior undergraduates and graduate students. It is reported that this is the first university in China to offer such courses.

Teachers of relevant courses in Zhejiang University said that when teaching blockchain technology, it will inevitably involve the introduction of virtual digital currency, but the course itself still focuses on teaching blockchain general technology and will not encourage students to "speculate".

Offering courses related to blockchain is related to Hang Cheng, where Zhejiang University is located, and paying attention to this field. At the beginning of this year, Hangzhou wrote the blockchain into the 20 18 government work report, and clearly listed the blockchain industry as one of Hangzhou's "seven industries to accelerate development in the future" to guide and encourage the development of the blockchain industry.

At present, more than 65,438+00 colleges and universities in the United States, including Carnegie Mellon University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have offered courses related to digital currency and blockchain technology for students.

Keeping up with social hotspots and adjusting courses in colleges and universities will help promote the contact between colleges and universities, students and the outside world and cultivate competitive talents. At the same time, blockchain-related courses should pay attention to the scientific compilation of teaching materials and the systematization of teaching to avoid becoming a gimmick.
