Our custom image scan to NFT app

The concept went like this: children could create a work with the printing press, then they could put their work on a table within a certain area. After this, they could take a scan of their work with the iPad camera. Finally, they could name their masterpiece. After scanning the QR code of the wallet (Metamask), the NFT was minted.

The digital gallery

Now that their artworks were immortalized on the blockchain, they could admire all of them on opensea. More than 50 works turned into an NFT. We also gave the visitors some more info about NFTs and Blockchain. It was great to see Cesar De Greve and Robby Goetinck explain to a target audience from 5 to 75+ years old what NFTs and the InterPlanetary FileSystem (IPFS) are by doing. Hands-on, creative, innovative and no-nonsense.
