The Coding4Integrity 2.0 series is designed to challenge young software developers (ages 18-35) with the task of creating an AI-based anti-corruption digital learning environment in the open Knowledge Token® educational ecosystem.

Knowledge Tokens
The Knowledge Token (Knowken®) aims to fundamentally change the way learners, educators and educational content creators acquire, disseminate and generate knowledge.
Knowledge tokens are incentive and participation tokens used to reward learners for their knowledge achievements while privately and securely recording their academic progress. The number of knowledge tokens issued corresponds to the units or number of knowledge, skills or credits acquired by the learner.
First launched at IMMERSIVE ITALY 2017 in partnership with INDIRE, the Italian Ministry of Education’s oldest and most respected educational research organization, INDIRE is a benchmark for educational research in Italy and can be considered a knowledge token, so it can be used to pay for goods and services such as mobile phones, tablets, computers, games, textbooks, tuition fees, etc.
The Switzerland-based Knowledge Foundation was recently established as an educational organization responsible for the design, development, deployment and ongoing maintenance of a global knowledge token system and related open international standards for blockchain technology in the education sector.
