The country will also launch an online Solidity course.
The Ministry of Education of the City of Buenos Aires has partnered with the ETH Kipu Foundation to introduce Ethereum and blockchain technology into the high school curriculum.
The initiative, which positions Argentina ahead of its Latin American peers, aims to equip students with the skills necessary to thrive in the emerging tech economy.
Beginning August 27, high school students in Buenos Aires will have the opportunity to engage in professional internships focused on blockchain projects.
Argentina to Launch Online Solidity Course
In addition to the in-school programs, the partnership includes the development of an online Solidity course, a programming language used to develop Ethereum applications.
The course will be available to 500 students aged 18 and older, providing them with the tools to become active participants in the Ethereum development community.
The training is expected to pave the way for young Argentines to develop applications that can be integrated into local business operations, potentially boosting the country’s economic prospects.
To ensure the success of the initiative, the ETH Kipu Foundation has also committed to training 30 teachers through a hybrid training program focused on Ethereum and blockchain technology.
While there is no information yet on whether this program will be expanded to other cities or provinces in Argentina, the current efforts mark a significant step forward in the country’s embrace of digital innovation.
Paula D., co-founder of the ETH Kipu Foundation, expressed optimism about the program’s potential impact.
“By integrating Ethereum education into high schools, we’re not just teaching students about technology—we’re giving them the tools to shape the future,” she said.
“This initiative will open up new career opportunities for young people and place Argentina at the forefront of the global blockchain movement.”
