ETH Kipu Foundation is a Latin American organisation focusing on Ethereum education. From August 27th, high school students in Buenos Aires can participate in internships with blockchain projects, gaining practical experience in the field.
An Opportunity to Learn Solidity
The program will offer an online course for Solidity, one of Ethereum’s main programming languages. The course will be available for 500 students aged 18 and over and will teach them how to develop decentralised applications (dApps) on the Ethereum network.
To ensure the program’s success, 30 city educators will receive training to teach Ethereum and blockchain-related subjects. If successful, the framework developed through this initiative may be expanded to other regions.
Paula D., co-founder of ETH Kipu, highlighted the program’s potential to create new career opportunities for young people and position Argentina at the forefront of the global blockchain movement. She emphasised that integrating Ethereum education in high schools provides students with tools to shape the future:
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. This initiative will open up new career opportunities for young people and place Argentina at the forefront of the global blockchain movement.

Crypto Expands in Latin America
The cryptocurrency industry seems to be expanding faster than ever in Latin America, and it even feels like the region is outpacing the US and European countries by approving more investment vehicles for institutions, providing better regulatory frameworks, and even educating citizens on blockchain technology.
The Brazilian government recently approved another Solana-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) managed by Hashdex, a well-known crypto asset manager.
