ETH Kipu Foundation has entered into an important partnership with the Buenos Aires Ministry of Education to integrate Ethereum and blockchain technology into high school curricula. This collaboration represents a notable advancement in technological education in the country, with implications for the entire Latin American region.
As part of this initiative, students in Buenos Aires will begin specialized internships linked to blockchain projects starting August 27. This hands-on initiative is expected to provide students with valuable experience and insight into the blockchain industry.
Additionally, the partnership will facilitate the development of an online course focused on Solidity, the programming language used to create Ethereum applications. The course aims to train 500 young people aged 18 and above, equipping them with the skills they need to join the Ethereum development community, while also contributing to local businesses through blockchain technology.
