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

Hands-On Blockchain Learning

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.

Online Solidity Course

In addition to the in-school program, the ETH Kipu Foundation is rolling out an online Solidity course for 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.

Teacher Training

To ensure the success of the initiative, the ETH Kipu Foundation will provide 'hybrid training' programs for 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. This new initiative to educate students in blockchain further underscores this progress.
