The Centre for Innovative Service-Learning and TriAngle bring you Social Innovation Maker (SIM): Prototype Making Competition. You will create social innovation ideas with your friends under the support of mentors and try out your ideas by building your very own prototypes and testing them in the community. Get yourself ready for the final pitch competition to win $5,000! 創新服務學習中心及TriAngle為同學帶來「社創籽: 社區提案創作比賽」。邀請你在社創導師的協助下,和伙伴一起動手構思社會創新提案,並把提案製成雛型在社區實地測試,最後競逐$5000最佳創新提案大獎!

Kin Ko, author of "The Sociology of Blockchain", cofounded LikeCoin to question the existence of non-rewarding Likes on social media. He explores the underworld of blockchain in terms of immutability and decentralization, and investigates how these affect the daily lives of new generation. This sharing minimizes the technicality of blockchain infrastructure, but to utilize the technology for the sake of humanity. Kin will also share a bit of his journey in bringing LikeCoin to the global cryptocurrency market.

 

《區塊鏈社會學》作者高重建,發起 LikeCoin、#decentralizehk,探索是「不可竄改」、「冇大台」等概念如何影響新世代的生活。這個分享會沒有高濃度的區塊鏈技術文,只倡議人文為體,科技為用;也分享一點 LikeCoin 在密碼貨幣技術市場上的科創旅程。
