High schools in Buenos Aires will soon offer blockchain internships as part of an initiative to integrate Ethereum and blockchain technology into the educational curriculum. This development follows a collaboration between Argentina’s Ministry of Education and the ETH Kipu Foundation. The partnership aims to introduce Ethereum and related technologies to high school students, providing practical experience in the field.
The initiative includes the launch of a comprehensive program beginning on August 27, with the first course designed to immerse students in blockchain technology. As part of the program, {Ethereum} (ETH) Kipu will implement an online course focused on Solidity, a high-level programming language used for developing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. This course aims to train 500 students aged 18 and older in creating decentralized applications (DApps). Additionally, ETH Kipu plans to prepare 30 instructors to deliver training on Ethereum and blockchain technologies.
Solidity, developed in 2014, is integral to building smart contracts on Ethereum and is also utilized in other networks such as BNB Smart Chain and Avalanche. Paula Doy, co-founder of ETH Kipu, emphasized that incorporating Ethereum into high school education not only educates students about cutting-edge technology but also equips them with skills to influence future developments in the field.
In Argentina, where inflation rates have surged significantly, there has been a notable increase in digital asset adoption. With an annual inflation rate reaching unprecedented levels, many Argentinians have turned to cryptocurrencies as a means of preserving the value of their assets. Recent reports highlight that Argentina ranks high in cryptocurrency usage, with a substantial portion of global exchange traffic originating from the country. Notably, Argentina was the leading market for Binance in terms of visitor numbers, reflecting the growing interest in digital currencies amid economic instability.
