Proof of work doesn't work unless you've done it for yourself.
Bitcoin, Unplugged
Bitcoin is an open, decentralized protocol, but most people never get to see it in action. Bitcoin at Work(shop) changes that.
In this interactive workshop, you’ll step into the network itself, acting as nodes, miners, and transactors to experience how Bitcoin functions in real-time. No computers, just pure protocol in motion.
Perfect for STEM educators and communities, corporate teams, or anyone interested in getting hands-on with the protocol, Bitcoin at Work(shop) offers a tangible, engaging way to grasp the fundamentals of blockchain technology.

Meet our facilitators
Learn more about the experts leading our workshops
Facilitators are traditionally non-technical leaders from Bitcoin communities who have gone through facilitator training and grown to become protocol experts themselves. Bitcoiners first, they can explain firsthand how the protocol works and would love to bring that same deep knowledge to your classroom or corporate boardroom.
