About this Specialization
Applied Learning Project
Upon completion of this Specialization, learners will produce a Blockchain Opportunity Analysis, in which you identify and evaluate a promising application of blockchain technology within your chosen industry. The goals of this project are twofold: One, it’s for you to identify a specific need or problem within an industry that can potentially be solved using blockchain technology. Two, it’s for you to investigate possible solutions to this problem, including how these solutions might be executed. You will accomplish different project milestones each week, and will be introduced to several tools to organize your findings. As an outcome of this project, you’ll walk away with a consolidated, peer-reviewed Blockchain Opportunity Analysis, which you can use to pitch your idea to your organization or even to potential investors.
