The International Blockchain Olympiad (Greater Bay Area) is an annual competition inviting students to propose solutions to real-world problems using blockchain technology. The Olympiad combines the practicality of traditional case competitions with the open-ended problem-solving culture of hackathons.

The GBA IBCOL was successfully held on 5-7th August 2022 via the virtual platform “Gather Town”. 7 teams consisting of 18 girls from the DGS Blockchain Club achieved outstanding results, capturing a total of 16 awards, including Awards of Merits, Top Secondary Track Awards, Category Prizes in the Healthcare, Education, Legal and Financial sectors, and the Bronze Prize.

They returned with full honors, having been awarded the Bronze medal, Top Secondary Track Award, HealthTech Award, and the Award of Merit.
