Founder & President

Armaan Arya

Armaan founded YBA to help high school students learn about blockchain before college.

YBA gives students a place to study the technology together and try building with it.

"Traditional education wasn't preparing my generation for what's coming. So I built the bridge myself."

At YBA, students learn how blockchains record transactions and manage digital ownership. Projects give members a chance to test those ideas and understand their limits.

Our Vision

We want students to start YBA chapters at their schools, share lessons, and work on blockchain projects together.
