Title: Bitcoin in Universities Post by: sobitcoin on February 04, 2015, 06:19:49 PM Posted a bit ago, didn't get to connect with many people so here we go again.
I think it would be super helpful if a few of us could connect to work on a global Bitcoin Club for universities. Why? This would be a great chance to bring bitcoin to universities and help those who are Bitcoin interested to get involved with the school, keep up to date with Bitcoin info and get other students involved.... It would be awesome to encourage bitcoin clubs in universities, encourage innovation and collaberation between students at the same / different schools, and perhaps get some universities involved. What would this include?
Pretty much, this would just be a ready to go location for all universities to network around bitcoin and ensure up to date/correct/consistent information is being heard. I think there is a whole bunch of people who would participate/ volunteer to run the club, it's a matter of having information packs and updated information ready to go and distributed on a monthly basis. Anyone like the idea? Thoughts? Feedback? Want to start up a project? DM me, it would be cool to work on something like this with a great team.

The big problem I could see is what could these clubs actually provide as a benefit? Now, if you had a Bitcoin programming group that were interested in learning source, etc...Maybe.

Connecting universities on bitcoin project whether they are in competition, working together. It would be great for innovation and involvement. People don't have to seek BTC information, it is provided in weekly meetings. Information would be consistent, relevant and easy to access instead of filtering through forums and 100's of random websites to find it. I personally see endless benefits if this program was utilized correctly. Googled it, there is a whole bunch yes, there is still a number of universities without. This idea is a basis and foundation for other schools to get involved, and the bitcoin clubs that are already running to work together and network.

A lot of ideas fail simply due to lack of effort - making a website is great, but you need constant content and attention.

It would be a full time project for a group of 3 or 4 individuals with experience in managing events and organization based projects. I think it would be cool to get a discussion going. This would definitely require daily updates and a steady stream of interesting content, with a community that encouraged communication and participation. I am visioning rewards, school based innovation competitions and a bunch of encouraging activities. Trying to think of an organization to compare the idea to but nothing comes to mind.

Just going to let this thread kick around for a bit and see if anyone else finds interest or ideas that might help bring the idea along. Will be in touch! Thanks again. |
