• building community and network - alumni and Denver community engagement
• we demarcate our BS line

#curricular ideas / goals

1. First spike: watch an intro video, define the blockchain, talk about what we know and what questions we have
2. Study alumni repos and code examples / set up our environment / write a contract in the online browser:

• Alumni repos: what's going on here? annotate it, study a test, play around with changing the code to write your own contract
• Set up the environment
• Write a contract

3. Application design - Mike Schutte will talk to us about how they thought about this
