The Buenos Aires Ministry of Education has announced a partnership with the ETH Kipu Foundation to integrate blockchain and Ethereum technologies into high school programs.
Partnership Between Buenos Aires Ministry of Education and ETH Kipu Foundation
Starting from August 27, students in Buenos Aires will gain hands-on experience with blockchain and Ethereum technologies integrated into their high school programs. The program will also include professional internships focused on blockchain projects, allowing students to engage directly with real-world applications of the technology.
Online Solidity Course for Aspiring Developers
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. The 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 for Effective Implementation
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. This approach ensures that the program’s impact extends beyond the immediate student body to the broader educational community.
While the current focus is on Buenos Aires, there is potential for this initiative to expand to other cities or provinces in Argentina.
