- Buenos Aires High School offers blockchain internships starting August 27th.
- ETH Kipu will teach Solidity to 500 students and train 30 instructors.
- High inflation in Argentina is driving local participation in digital assets.
In a groundbreaking move to advance blockchain education, Argentina’s Ministry of Education has partnered with ETH Kipu to introduce Ethereum and blockchain technology into the high school curriculum in Buenos Aires.
Starting August 27, we will be offering blockchain internships at high schools across the city, giving students valuable hands-on experience in this rapidly evolving field.
Accelerating Blockchain Adoption in Argentina
Our collaboration with ETH Kipu, a renowned institution specializing in Ethereum education in Latin America, marks an important step in integrating cutting-edge technologies into secondary education.
The program includes a specialized online Solidity course designed to teach 500 students the intricacies of decentralized application (DApp) development.
Solidity, a high-level programming language used to create smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, is gaining traction on a number of networks, including BNB Smart Chain and Avalanche.
ETH Kipu aims to train 30 instructors who will provide comprehensive Ethereum and blockchain education while equipping students with the skills needed to succeed in the blockchain sector.
According to Paula Doi, co-founder of ETH Kipu, the initiative will not only expose students to cutting-edge technologies, but also open up new career opportunities and put Argentina at the forefront of the global blockchain movement.
Argentina’s Soaring Inflation Spurring Crypto Adoption
The Ministry of Education initiative comes amid a backdrop of rapidly rising inflation rates in Argentina, which has led to a significant increase in local participation in digital assets.
With annual inflation rates reaching 276%, many Argentines are turning to cryptocurrencies like Tether (USDT) to protect their assets.
Recently, Forbes analysts reported that Argentina is leading the Western Hemisphere in cryptocurrency adoption, with significant activity on major platforms like Binance.
The collaboration between ETH Kipu and Buenos Aires is a promising development, demonstrating the country’s commitment to fostering technological innovation and preparing young people for the future of digital finance.
