In addition to the in-school program, the ETH Kipu Foundation is rolling out an online Solidity course, tailored to train 500 students aged 18 and over.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Solidity is the primary programming language used to develop applications on the Ethereum blockchain. This course aims to empower participants to join the Ethereum development community and create applications that integrate with local businesses, potentially boosting the local economy.
&nbsp;
The online course is designed to provide practical skills and knowledge, helping students build a strong foundation in blockchain technology. The program aims to nurture a new generation of developers who will contribute to the Ethereum ecosystem and its applications.

To ensure the success of the initiative, the ETH Kipu Foundation is also focusing on training educators. A “hybrid training” program will be provided to 30 teachers, equipping them with the necessary skills to effectively teach Ethereum and blockchain concepts.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
This component is crucial for maintaining high educational standards and ensuring that students receive accurate and up-to-date information.
&nbsp;
The teacher training is designed to create a knowledgeable cadre of educators who can inspire and guide students as they explore the complexities of blockchain technology. This approach ensures that the program’s impact extends beyond the immediate student body to the broader educational community.
&nbsp;
While the current focus is on Buenos Aires, there is potential for this initiative to expand to other cities or provinces in Argentina, per reports.
&nbsp;
Buenos Aires has already shown a progressive stance towards cryptocurrency, with plans to run Ethereum nodes by 2023.&nbsp;
