Moreover, the course incorporates eight carefully curated lectures delivered by a mix of local and international blockchain experts.
According to reports, these experts and guest lecturers will be offering their insights, sharing real-world experiences, and guiding a project at the end of the program. Further, the introductory lectures, given by international speakers, will be conducted in English, offering a global perspective. However, most course content will be delivered in Georgian, ensuring a smooth and familiar learning experience for the students.
