Argentina’s Ministry of Education has teamed up with the ETH Kipu Foundation to bring Ethereum and blockchain technology into the curriculum of Buenos Aires high schools. Starting August 27, the initiative aims to position Argentina as a leader in the tech-driven economy, outpacing other Latin American nations in blockchain education and adoption. Paula D., co-founder of ETH Kipu, highlighted the program’s potential to forge new career paths and advance Argentina’s role in the global blockchain sphere.

The program includes opportunities for high school students to engage in internships with blockchain projects and offers an online Solidity course for students over 18, designed to equip them with skills to develop decentralized applications (dApps). Additionally, 30 local educators will be trained to teach these cutting-edge topics, with plans to expand the educational framework regionally.

This educational push aligns with a global trend towards integrating blockchain technology into learning curriculums. Similar initiatives by organizations like Tether and countries like El Salvador underscore the growing importance of blockchain knowledge in preparing for a digital future.
