Binance and DIO, a Brazilian Open Education platform, have entered into an educational partnership and will offer an immersive course on cryptocurrencies, blockchain and investments in digital assets. The program aims to deepen knowledge for investors and developers, and will offer 10,000 free scholarships in Brazil.

Called Coding the Future Binance, the course is aimed at people interested in mastering blockchain concepts and knowledge about virtual assets, and aims to present in detail how this market works and teach step by step step how to create investment portfolios and acquire virtual assets. Registration for Coding the Future Binance takes place from June 24th to July 31st, 2024 through the link: https://tinyurl.com/cxj8e8ab. Participants who register in advance will be able to access the content immediately. The course ends on September 30th this year. 

The course will also cover skills for developers, such as programming in Solidity to create smart contracts, exploring Web3, and understanding the potential of blockchain, which uses a distributed ledger system to store information securely and interconnected over the internet. Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to create their own cryptocurrency using the Ethereum network, as well as explore creating an NFT.

The Bootcamp schedule

The program contains 55 hours of extensive content, which includes practical projects for building an investment portfolio and live mentoring sessions with Binance experts, aimed at clarifying doubts about the market. 

“Education about blockchain and cryptocurrencies is one of the main obstacles to the adoption of the technology by a wider portion of society, and this becomes even more essential as adoption goes beyond the initial enthusiasts, which is what we are seeing happening. This program looks at both investors and technology professionals entering this market, contributing to the formation of skilled labor to meet the demands of this growing industry", Guilherme Nazar, general director of Binance in Brazil 

"We, at Binance, are focused on democratizing knowledge and we take this responsibility, seeking to expand education and the offer of decision-making tools to more and more people and in an always accessible way. Thus, we try to demystify misguided fears about this technology, strengthen the necessary care to avoid scams and fraud and contribute to the construction of an increasingly safer ecosystem in Brazil and the world", adds the executive. 

The immersion also includes some sessions with Binance experts. Exchange professionals will give introductory lectures on cryptocurrencies and the functioning of the cryptoactive market, market analysis tools and investment management. 

This is DIO's first project in collaboration with cryptocurrencies, reaffirming its dedication to educational innovation in the field of fintechs.

“We are excited about the new bootcamp in collaboration with Binance. It’s an excellent opportunity to dive deep into cryptocurrencies and blockchain with a company that is shaping the future of digital technology” Iglá Generoso, CEO and co-founder of DIO
