Even though entrepreneurs, businesses, and governments have been making use of blockchain solutions for almost a decade now, the technology still remains perplexing and difficult for many. The Indian branch of blockchain software company ConsenSys is looking to address that, with a course over five weekends designed to introduce particpants to blockchain technology and then help them understand it in detail. The course culminates in a two-day hackathon on the sixth weekend and a certification and graduation ceremony.
