Connect with your students on social media for sure that it will be much easier to know who really wants to be your audience. We are the same on the profession but I am not still practicing it as I am in-between if I want to continue it or not. By posting some crypto or blockchain-related content on your social media accounts and if ever there's a growing interest by some of your students on those posts maybe you can encourage them now if they want to dig deep on the technology or not. I advise you to start with just a few participants, stories may spread if it's good or not.
Just a suggestion I guess it will be good if it will not be within the school premises if you teach them why not teach them during weekends. And a fair advise it will be good if you really are that knowledgeable to the technology before teaching them.

It's strange that you already asked your principal for a four hour per week mentoring about blockchain when you still do not know where to get resources and, as Lucius pointed out, you don't seem to be that knowledgeable to be imparting knowledge about bitcoin and blockchain yet. No offense meant.
Anyway, in case the principal won't approve your request, you can choose social media as a platform. Maybe create a facebook page or twitter, ask your students to follow you then post videos/articles about crypto. Everytime you meet at school, maybe you can ask them if they understood what you posted and a few minutes discussion.

First of all, it is commendable that you want spend your free time to learn your students something about blockchain and cryptocurrency. But for start, you should pay attention to some things which are very delicate when it comes to such projects.
You say that you ask head/principal to allow few hours for your lecture, and since you work (probably) in state school, everything you do there must be approved by authorities, and parents of students would have to agree with all the extra-curricular activities.
Besides all that you also have to take responsibility for everything that is going to happen after. Some students will probably try to trade, others will try crypto gambling - some will become victims of hacking, and all of them will at the end blame you for that.
I do not say you have to give up on your idea, but you should consider each step well and pick only those students which really show sincere interest for blockchain technology&cryptocurrency.
Not related to topic, but advice for you - I see you are good in English, but most of your post are only applications for bounty. I suggest you to try participate more in forum discussions, in this way you can also help others.

Check edx.org there are many free courses on blockchain and crypto currencies from leading universities and organizations. There you will find resources and ideas how to structure your classes.
There are other online free courses available in Internet, I just give info based on my own experience.
You will learn a lot as well.

As a young teacher who loves impacting useful knowledge on the younger generations, I want to start a personal project to teach the young students in the secondary school where I work as a teacher about blockchain and cryptocurrency.
I have tried to convince the head/principal of my school to allocate four hours each week for me so as to make this a reality.
If ever the principal will allow you, I think you will only do that by just the vacant time of students and it will be only optional for those students who want to attend in your activity if ever the things that you want to teach are within the syllabus/lesson plan you are assigned to that is difficult to pass, but still, that is good initiation.I have tried to convince the head/principal of my school to allocate four hours each week for me so as to make this a reality.
There's nothing wrong for teaching other people especially on new technologies such as blockchain or Bitcoin.
My advice when you will start teaching young students, you should first identify your listeners/students their knowledge, how you will deliver your lesson to them because I know they will find it difficult at the start and some are don't have an interest. Since you are a teacher I know you already figure it out and have your solution, I know you can manage it
Brief introduction.
I'm a secondary school teacher in one rural area In my country, I learnt about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in the late 2017 through a media post and since then I have been growing my knowledge, trying to know more about this space. The whole process have been an interesting one and I have developed a special interest for blockchain and cryptocurrency since then due to my love for great technological innovations.
I later joined bounty and airdrop so as to acquire some of this cryptocurrency but my bounty journey have been sideways.
Now to the main topic.

Please I need ideas and support on how to make this my dream of helping the younger ones to learn about blockchain and cryptocurrency a success.
If you know where I can get useful materials for this, please I will really appreciate.
I know the journey might be rough but with your ideas it will really go a long way.
Thanks
