Abstract
In this work, we consider the nexus between blockchain technology and computer science curriculum. While it is possible to introduce the blockchain paradigm using a single course, the depth of a single topic can often be sacrificed at the expense of covering a breadth of information. As blockchain is an emerging technology, it is important to embed various concepts throughout the undergraduate curriculum with the depth necessary to reinforce each facet. Using a just in time approach, we define exactly where and how blockchain topics relevant to computer science should be introduced. As a means for active learning pedagogy, we introduce a lab framework for students to gain hands-on experience. Finally, we describe collaborations with industry to provide mentorship and internship opportunities.
