Blockchain Education Advocate
About Michael Johnson
In 2021, Michael Johnson co-designed the first state-adopted blockchain literacy module for U.S. high school computer science standards, introducing hash functions through interactive ledger simulations using classroom whiteboards and physical tokens, not code. He rejected the 'crypto bro' narrative early, insisting that understanding decentralization requires grappling with governance trade-offs, not just wallet setups. His workshops with rural school districts led to the 'Proof-of-Learning' framework, a pedagogical model where students earn verifiable credentials by auditing real open-source smart contracts, not just reading about them. He’s testified before two congressional subcommittees on curriculum gaps in digital infrastructure literacy, arguing that blockchain fluency is as foundational as statistical reasoning in the 2020s. His writing avoids jargon without diluting rigor, treating Merkle trees like grammar rules, structural, teachable, and quietly consequential.
