The Monash Blockchain Alliance is an intersection between business and academia supported by Monash University. The organization aims to share knowledge and develop ideas to address the critical skills gap with respect to Blockchain technology. We want to provide technical training and build a Monash developer community that is exposed to job opportunities, business ideas and stays connected to industry leaders who are leading global blockchain adoption. Our ecosystem will revolve around a local community of academics, students, industry professionals, leading corporations, start-ups and global think tanks and will be further developed through activities such as the following; • meetup groups and social events • Coding lessons (example: solidity, Hyperledger Fabric) • Access to industry partnerships • innovation challenges and hackathons • Internships
