The Challenge consists of four high school teams, working with Blockchain company Coin-sure, youth development company Em Stret and the Australian Government to co-author 4 Proofs of Concepts to solve four real world problems in Papua New Guinea.
The four schools are Kopkop College, Port Moresby International School, Kila Kila Secondary School and Don Bosco Technical Secondary School.
Kila Kila Secondary School will propose a Blockchain Based Land Titles Registry and Management system that will eliminate corruption by preventing duplication of titles and delay in processing, Don Bosco Technical Secondary School will propose a Blockchain based global carbon emissions trading platform to combat climate change by creating an economy for the preservation of forest stocks through a compensation mechanism, Kopkop College will propose a Blockchain based National Identity Registration and Management system as a secure base layer to build public service records systems and Port Moresby International School will propose a Blockchain based digital currency (a Cryptocurrency) that is fully subject to existing PNG Monetary Policy, and can be deployed to sectors that cash is either risky or problematic to utilize.
All Proofs of Concept are being developed under the leadership and supervision of Nou Fredrick Vada of Coin-sure Limited and Blockchain Pasifik. Mr Vada and his team from Blockchain Pasifik have been consulting and helping the school teams develop their proposals in weekly sessions that began on September 11 and concludes on October 9.
Mr Vada said in initial workshops and first build sessions with the school teams he has seen the powerful potential of our students in solving complex problems with technology.
“The Blockchain Pasifik Junior Challenge wants to test the assumption that today’s young people, who have grown up in the world of immersive technology, can better articulate the disruptive power of emerging technologies”
The Blockchain Pasifik Junior Challenge is part of the Blockchain Pasifik event which will be held from 10 to 12 October 2018 at the International Convention Centre in Port Moresby. On the 10th the students will make their proposals to parliamentarians at the Blockchain Briefing For Parliament session which will be co-hosted by Blockchain Pasifik, RMIT APEC Study Centre Australia and ABAC PNG. It will be held at the Stanley Hotel.
Mr Vada said this session provides the students with the opportunity to make their presentations at the government level. It also puts them at the forefront of policy development on real issues affecting PNG.
“If our stakeholders feel that the program can be extended than the four schools will be used to trail yearlong programs for each project”
“For the student teams, we are basically training these students how to run tech start-ups. So they are being exposed to a lot planning and management skills,” he said.
