摘要
Although blockchain is regarded as a promising and revolutionary technology, not everyone, particular non-technical students, can effectively understand and appraise its mechanism. To spread knowledge of blockchain technology, an online educational game for learning blockchain concepts named 'Block-TrainHK' is designed and developed from the React Native framework. Users from multi-disciplinary backgrounds can experience the block mining process, where the whole journey of building the blockchain and other advanced concepts, including immutability, Merkle tree, and zero knowledge proof, can be revealed, such that technical barriers of learning blockchain can be overcome.
