Whether you are just starting your crypto journey or are already a full-time degen, there are opportunities for you within our club. At B@GT you can meet others interested in crypto, learn the basics, become an analyst to dive into complex topics, listen to our speaker events, and complete bounties to earn real-world experience and rewards. Here is a list of some of the things we do:
- Crypto Course: For those completely new to crypto, we teach an 8-week crypto fundamentals boot camp to get you up to speed on the basics. This is your opportunity to learn about the basics of blockchain tech, smart contracts, DeFi, NFT's, GameFi, and web3.
- Social events: Once a month we host networking social events at the Atlanta Tech Square Clubhouse. Food and drinks are provided. Anyone in the Atlanta area is welcome.
- Speaker Events: We aim to have a high-quality speaker from the crypto industry every 2 weeks at our general meetings.
- Newsletter: Our student-led newsletter posts monthly issues that dive into emerging projects and protocols in crypto. These deep dives provide an in-depth summary and analysis of the projects and their impact on crypto as a whole.
- Bounties: All students are in need of real-world experience. With our club’s bounty board, students can become aware of opportunities in the industry and get paid to complete tasks for DAOs or protocols. Build your portfolio of work and get compensated for your time with these bounties.
- Job Opportunities: ****Hiring in crypto can still be difficult, especially for undergraduates. But the industry is in desperate need of talent and our goal is to place as many of our students as possible in high-paying web3 jobs. Our job board for students can help you get directly connected with top companies.
- Web3 ATL Conference: Blockchain at Georgia Tech is excited to announce that we are working on creating a premier web3 conference and hackathon for the Atlanta area. Atlanta is a city full of web2 and fintech talent, and our club aims to cultivate the crypto scene through our annual 2-day event in the fall.
