NFT (Non fungible token) came around few years ago and has since disrupted the ecosystem of the creative industry. NFT is a virtual asset that puts specific information on the blockchain using encryption and allows users to trade on platforms. It’s vastly adapted to music, virtual collection, photo, video and etc. NFT not only protects artists but also brings in many more investment opportunities.
The course welcomes anyone who’s interested in creative works, music, gaming, intellectual property rights, investment, digital asset and fintech.
The course will dive deep into NFT, from the basics to business applications. With the rapid change of NFT, the instructor would incorporate the most updated information and use cases into the curriculum from time to time, ensuring participants are keeping abreast of the latest development.
To understand NFT, participants will first learn about blockchain. After learning about the mechanism of blockchain and NFT, participants will then create his/her own crypto wallet and list/trade NFT*. Moreover, participants will learn about how NFT works through role-play and group discussion.
Another highlight of this course is that guest speaker from the local/overseas company will share valuable insights of how NFT is applied HK and worldwide. Participants will be able to gain a concrete idea of NFT from the practitioners’ sharing.
