KIERAN NOLAN | Blockchain Education For Kids, Distributing The Web With IPFS & Lifelong Learning

What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

Description
Chapters

Kieran Nolan is the cofounder of Rocketshoes, educational technologist, host of the IPFS podcast and a lover of all things blockchain. In Conversation #62 we chat about: teaching blockchain tech to primary school children, the difficulties of educating parents, real life use cases of IPFS with rocketshoes, an overview of the InterPlanetary File System, the limitations of blockchain technology and why he is so fascinated by it.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, Kyrin out!
