Social Impact Youth Incubator
30 May - 07:00 PM
BECOME A LEADER FOR SOCIAL CHANGE
THE GOODDLER SOCIAL IMPACT YOUTH INCUBATOR inspires a new generation of youth to invest their entrepreneurial brain-power into solving the world's acute humanitarian problems
http://www.gooddler.org/youth-incubator/
MODULE 1. INSPIRE TO LEAD:
Identify strengths and know how to use them. Strength-based Leadership Development.
MODULE 2. GENERATE IDEAS:
Ideas Hackathon - explore the issues in local communities and find solutions.
During this Hackathon Social Impact business model canvas will be introduced and customers segments will be identified. This is also the time when individual strengths are identified and teams are formed. The weeks following the Hackathon, our youth will focus on identifying the needs of local communities, researching solutions that are currently in place, talking to all stakeholders, etc. The goal is to come up with innovative ideas for further testing.
MODULE 3. DESIGN SOLUTIONS:

Social Enterprise Hackathon
29 May - 11:00 AM
The Enactus Social Enterprise Hackathon will be a free one-day event where teams will identify social challenges and work together to create possible solutions (maybe even future business ideas!) Students will take part in interactive workshops designed to help boost their employability and gain a unique insight into how to generate new ideas and what to do with them. Students will meet students from different programmes and share their skills whilst learning from others too. The Hackathon will cover enterprise skills that employers are increasingly looking for including leadership qualities, pitching/communication skills, commercial awareness and team work experience. Students from all disciplines are encouraged to attend for variety in knowledge and skills set. Teams will be formed on the morning of the event so students do not need to attend as a team.
Reasoning about Trace Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts for Software Engineers!

This event is brought to you by The Blockchain Connector and workonblockchain.com.
TALK TITLE: Reasoning about Trace Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
KEYWORDS: Ethereum, Smart Contracts, Program Analysis, Symbolic Execution
ABSTRACT:
Smart contracts — stateful executable objects hosted on blockchains like Ethereum — carry billions of dollars worth of coins and cannot be updated once deployed.
Im my talk, I will present a systematic characterisation of a new class of trace vulnerabilities, which result from analysing multiple invocations of a contract over its lifetime. We will discuss three example properties of such trace vulnerabilities: finding contracts that either lock funds indefinitely, leak them carelessly to arbitraryusers, or can be killed by anyone. I will then describe the design and implementation of Maian, the first tool for precisely specifying and reasoning about trace properties, which employs inter-procedural symbolic analysis and concrete validator for exhibiting real exploits.
From nearly one million contracts in Ethereum blockchain, Maian flagged 34,200 (2,365 distinct) contracts as vulnerable, in 10 seconds per contract. On a subset of 3,759 contracts sampled for concrete validation and manual analysis, we reproduced real exploits at a true positive rate of 89%, yielding exploits for 3,686 contracts. Amongst others, Maian also found exploits for the infamous Parity bug that indirectly locked 200 million dollars worth in Ether.
This project is a joint work with Ivica Nikolić, Aashish Kolluri, Prateek Saxena, and Aquinas Hobor.
SPEAKER: Ilya Sergey
SHORT BIO:
Dr Ilya Sergey does research in the area of programming languages, program analysis, and formal verification. In recent years, Ilya has mainly been concerned with developing scalable methods for building trustworthy concurrent and distributed software, but his earlier work was advancing the state of the art in static analysis for higher-order languages and programming language design. Prior to joining academia, Ilya has spent a part of his career in industry, working in JetBrains Inc., a world-leading company in creating integrated developement environments for software developers. He obtained his PhD in formal methods at KU Leuven (Belgium), and held a postdoctoral position at IMDEA Software Institute (Spain), before taking his current position as a Lecturer at University College London.
