How to teach high school kids

I’m a high school teacher with a 1 term elective that I can basically do anything “technology” related that I want. I’d like to add a unit on Bitcoin (and crypto in general I guess). I already teach cryptology, but only basic puzzles you can decrypt by hand.

I don’t have any background in tech, or computer science, or coding… but I’m smarter than your average bear.

Anybody have ideas on what to do, how to do it, resources I can use, etc?

Also, would it be possible for me to create a currency for use in the classroom? What goes into doing that?

And again, I basically have the freedom to do whatever I want. If the suggestions are to just watch a video then fine. I’ll go where all of you take me. I think it would be pretty cool to actually teach them about crypto though. Any of my students that know anything get maybe 10% of their info from legit sources.

Thanks nerds.
