Playing with blockchain to understand how it will shape the future

Abstract

Bloxxgame aims to make the complex mechanisms of public blockchains accessible to students without programming skills. It offers a hands-on experience with key concepts like decentralized consensus and empowers teachers without a computer science background to effectively introduce blockchain fundamentals before exploring real-world applications in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and supply chains (e.g. Tolentino-Zondervan et al., 2023). Through interactive learning, it goes beyond theory by letting students actively participate and explore how a blockchain works. This approach ensures that students not only learn blockchain concepts but also actively engage with them in a practical, accessible way.
