This thread describes how students in Kibera studied in the @tutor_web, using tablets donated by @EducationCase to @KnlsKibera, until they earned enough #SmileyCoin to purchase the tablet.
Developed at @uisens, @uni_iceland; supported by @MFAIceland.
Event: Education In A Suitcase(EIAS); Redeeming tablets and new students onboarding.
The project, which started 4 months ago saw students with a million #Smileycoins redeem a tablet.

We explored The Happy Face Of Crypto with @gstefans, a professor at the University of Iceland. Unlike the usual hype around digital assets, his focus was on how #blockchain & #cryptocurrency can support education & charity.
