Buenos Aires' Ministry of Education has partnered with the ETH Kipu Foundation to integrate blockchain and Ethereum technologies into high school programs. Starting from August 27, students in Buenos Aires will gain hands-on experience with these technologies.

Program Launch

The program will include professional internships focused on blockchain projects, allowing students to engage directly with real-world applications of the technology.

This initiative will open up new career opportunities for young people and place Argentina at the forefront of the global blockchain movement.Paula D., co-founder of the ETH Kipu Foundation

Online Solidity Course

In addition to the in-school program, the ETH Kipu Foundation is rolling out an online Solidity course, tailored to train 500 students aged 18 and over. Solidity is the primary programming language used to develop applications on the Ethereum blockchain. This course aims to empower participants to join the Ethereum development community and create applications that integrate with local businesses, potentially boosting the local economy.

Teacher Training

To ensure the success of the initiative, the ETH Kipu Foundation is also focusing on training educators. A “hybrid training” program will be provided to 30 teachers, equipping them with the necessary skills to effectively teach Ethereum and blockchain concepts. This component is crucial for maintaining high educational standards and ensuring that students receive accurate and up-to-date information.

While the current focus is on Buenos Aires, there is potential for this initiative to expand to other cities or provinces in Argentina. Buenos Aires has already shown a progressive stance towards cryptocurrency, with plans to run Ethereum nodes by 2023.
