I'm a computing teacher and want to make my kids do an assignment on crypto. What do you think I should ask them to do?

I want it to be a fun and engaging investigation - not something boring where they just summarise the meaning of DeFi. Here are some of the outcomes that I think could tie in to crypto.

A student:

• explains the interrelationship between hardware and software
• differentiates between various methods used to construct software solutions
• describes how the major components of a computer system store and manipulate data
• explains the interrelationship between emerging technologies and software development
• identifies and evaluates legal, social and ethical issues in a number of contexts
• constructs software solutions that address legal, social and ethical issues
• identifies needs to which software solutions are appropriate

An assignment usually needs to assess 2-3 outcomes. The kids are in high school. 16-18 years old. Just looking for ideas. Thanks
