The program is created and supervised by Professor/Co-Director, NYU Center for Cybersecurity, Dr. Damon McCoy, and is inspired by their research and the undergraduate and graduate courses they instruct.
NYU Tandon's CR (Cryptocurrency) summer program introduces high school students to the computer science, data analysis, mathematical techniques, and logic that drive decentralized systems and online currency. Students will gain fundamental knowledge in applied cryptography, blockchain technologies, smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and decentralized storage. The program emphasizes engineering problem-solving principles and how these techniques can be used to tackle societal challenges. Participants will explore the technical foundations of cryptocurrency and decentralized systems, including cryptographic security, blockchain architecture, and consensus mechanisms, and examine how these technologies are shaping digital economies and online interactions.
A typical day involves lessons covering fundamental knowledge in applied cryptography and blockchain technologies, smart contracts, decentralized finance, NFTs, DAOs, and decentralized storage.
This program is ideal for high school students who have successfully completed Algebra 2 or equivalent and have some programming experience in any language, and are interested in computer science, data analysis, and the logic behind decentralized systems and online currency.
