About the Capstones

The Capstone Project is one of the core parts of the Kansas Blockchain Fellowship, designed to give each Fellow an opportunity to grow and showcase their skills and blockchain knowledge. 

They were challenged to find a problem or idea in web3 that interests them and build something around it that they're proud of. 

The Process

The design portion of the capstone was guided by the Capstone Design Roadmap. Each Fellow's build process is unique to them based on the project they selected.

Requirements

What to Build

  • It should challenge and grow your technical, analytical, and research skills
  • It must be blockchain specific

What to Submit

Plan to submit the Github repository containing your project and a polished, 3-minute video pitching and demoing your project.
