  • Hands-On Experience: The inclusion of modules on local network setup, dApp workshops, and smart contract implementation provided students with practical, hands-on experience, which is crucial for deep understanding and skill development.
  • Industry-Relevant Skills: The topics covered, such as creating fungible and non-fungible tokens, working with the JSON-RPC relay, and understanding interoperability, are highly relevant and in demand within the blockchain and Web3 industry.
  • Expert-Led Training: The presence of experienced resource persons, a Blockchain Trainer and a Software Engineer Developer, ensured that the content was delivered accurately and effectively, offering valuable insights that go beyond standard course material.
  • Practical Outcome: The on-the-spot assessment and certification provided a clear, immediate measure of success for the students, giving them a tangible achievement to add to their academic and professional portfolios.

Module Objectives and Descriptions

The workshop is structured into eleven modules, each with specific objectives to build a student's expertise progressively.

  • Module 1: Introduction to Web3 and Hedera: Aims to familiarize students with the fundamental concepts of Web3 and decentralized ledger technology, specifically introducing them to the Hedera network and its Governing Council.
  • Module 2: Hedera Network Architecture: Describes the core components of the Hedera network, including consensus nodes, mirror nodes, and various Hedera services. The objective is to give students a clear understanding of how the network is built and operates.
  • Module 3: Hedera Core Concepts: Focuses on the building blocks of the Hedera platform. It covers the Hedera crypto economy, accounts, keys and signatures, transactions, and scheduled transactions. This module's objective is to provide a solid theoretical foundation for all subsequent hands-on work.
  • Module 4: Hedera Developer Fundamentals: This is where students get hands-on. The module's objective is to teach students how to set up their development environment, use Hedera SDKs, and work with the Hedera client. It also covers practical skills like transferring HBAR (the native cryptocurrency) and querying ledger data.
  • Module 5: Local Network Setup: The objective is to guide students in setting up a local network, which is essential for developing and testing applications without incurring costs on the mainnet.
  • Module 6: Hedera Consensus Service: Explores one of Hedera's key features, the Hedera Consensus Service. The module explains how this service can be used for high-throughput, lowlatency applications.
  • Module 7: Hedera Token Service: This module's objective is to teach students how to create and manage both fungible and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hedera network, a crucial skill for modern blockchain development.
  • Module 8: dApp Workshop: A practical session aimed at applying previous knowledge. The objective is to guide students through the process of building their first decentralized application (dApp) and deploying it on Hedera.
  • Module 9: Hedera Smart Contract Service: Focuses on the use of smart contracts. This module teaches students about smart contract implementation, interoperability, and creating NFTs using Solidity, a popular smart contract language.
  • Module 10: JSON-RPC Relay (Native Services): The objective is to introduce students to the JSON-RPC relay and teach them how to connect to Hedera networks using this service.
  • Module 11: Interoperability: Covers advanced topics related to how Hedera can interact with other networks and services, including token association.

Conclusion

The Hedera Developer Workshop was a successful and impactful event for the 180 students from the 5th and 7th semesters who attended. By combining a comprehensive and well-structured curriculum with hands-on practice and expert guidance, the workshop equipped participants with essential skills in blockchain and Web3 development. The practical focus and immediate certification created a highly motivating and rewarding learning environment, effectively preparing the students for future opportunities in the tech industry.
