| Summary: | Abstract This paper presents a novel architecture utilizing blockchain technology to enhance educational systems. A method is proposed that empowers non‐fungible tokens by updating their metadata through an API layer, making blockchain technology more accessible to K‐12 students. Leveraging Google Blockly, a visual programming language, the aim is to engage students in computational thinking and foster their understanding of blockchain concepts. The approach promotes student engagement, facilitates the comprehension of digital ownership and value, and develops essential skills for the digital age. Through the method, the contribution is in the advancing of blockchain in education. The demo video can be seen using the following link, https://youtu.be/ZPVKgWtSb6U. |
