Buenos Aires' Ministry of Education has partnered with the ETH Kipu Foundation to integrate Ethereum and blockchain technology into high school curricula starting August 27. High school students will gain hands-on experience with these technologies through school programs.
Blockchain Integration in School Education
The program will include professional internships focused on blockchain projects, allowing students to engage directly with real-world applications of the technology.
Online Solidity Course for Developers
The ETH Kipu Foundation is launching an online Solidity course tailored to train 500 students aged 18 and over. This course aims to empower participants to join the Ethereum development community and create applications that integrate with local businesses.
Teacher Training for New Technologies
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.
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.
