This course will introduce you to NFT basics, helping you understand the important parts in the process of NFT
About This Class
Welcome! If you are a complete newbie to the world of cryptocurrency and NFTs, this quick crash course on NFT Basics will get you up to speed in the afternoon. You will learn:
- How cryptocurrencies work and NFT Basics
- What an NFT is
- How to create an NFT
- How to sell that NFT on the two major NFT marketplaces, Raible and OpenSea
- Resources on NFT Basics
If you are looking to dig deeper, here are a few resources that can help you understand cryptocurrency and NFTs a bit better:
How does Bitcoin work? (applicable to NFTs and other cryptocurrencies also): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBC-nXj3Ng4
An explanation of NFTs (non-technical): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz9zw7-_vhM
Another big challenge is (of course) finding something to turn into an NFT! I found this Blender tutorial very helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPrnSACiTJ4
Blender is free software for making 3D models, and I used it to create the ‘donut’ image used throughout this course.

Hands-on Class Project
The class project is to make your own NFT! To do this, you will need to:
Set up a crypto “wallet” (I recommend Metamask: https://metamask.io/ )
Use your crypto wallet to create accounts on at least one major NFT marketplace:
Rarible: https://rarible.com/ <— recommended for beginners
OpenSea: https://opensea.io/
Upload an NFT and list it for sale!
You will also need a way to buy cryptocurrency (specifically “Ether”, also called “ETH”). There are a number of ways to do this, but the easiest way will be to join an exchange. Popular exchanges include:
1. Coinbase: https://www.coinbase.com
2. Binance: https://www.binance.com/en
3. Gemini: https://www.gemini.com/
