Together with NGO Bitcoin Argentina, the Paxful exchange and Built With Bitcoin Foundation will launch a teaching project about the basic principles of cryptocurrency.

Initially, some 40 secondary schools in Argentina will participate in the so-called “Schools and Bitcoin Project”, under the premise that “education at all levels is a crucial step towards the next wave of global adoption of Bitcoin”.
The sponsors stated that the project will provide vocational guidance on Bitcoin and other blockchain technologies to teachers and students at the end of high school.

In August, the Bitcoin Teaching Project will begin. Its goal is to offer training to over 4,000 Argentine students. Next, the project will organize inter-school meetings in which the students’ proposals will be displayed.

Proponents of this project wish to make it easy for students as well as teachers to grasp the many benefits and advantages provided by the Bitcoin blockchain decentralized financial system.

To be included in the global change taking place at dizzying speeds, all secondary schools are welcome to join.
To join the project, other interested educational centers should contact the NGO Bitcoin Argentina through the email info@bitcoinargentina.org. Promoters of this project said that on May 5, they will give an introduction talk using Zoom.
