[Music]
well hi to everybody thank you for
coming this is our first time as a
speaker in Devcon so we are super happy
and we will start with a quick
introduction uh well what is kipu we are
a foundation we are granes from the
etherum foundation through the
consistent support program we are a
group of people from different countries
from Latin America and we work together
to threat the etheron ecosystem through
education and cooperation we have
different work areas one of the most
important for us is education but we
have to keep us take carees keep impact
and we have a special area it latan
every year we organize an annual
conference in different countries the
last Edition was this year in March and
we were in Honduras and we notic we
notice a significant change a lot of
young attendees for us was an unique
experience that made us rethink approach
our our events and our
courses so last August we approached the
Ministry of Education in Buenos AIS with
a proposal to hold an event for for 200
students from high schools and was a
success uh the girls and the boys were
super happy and interested in blockchain
and ER for us H this became the starting
point for launching a pilot program to
teach ethereum in high school so please
continue thank you Ry this was one of my
most scariest moments but also one of
the happiest because I was in front of
200 people that maybe they were forced
to be there not as you guys you we are
all grown-ups who want to be here we are
convinced about this and what we have
learned through the pilots that we are
doing with the Ministry of Education is
that we first develop the content and
that's what we are doing with our
solidity course we are doing an online
program we also are filling a gap which
is how to take that knowledge and teach
that to the trainers that potentially
will replicate it on their high schools
and maybe you are here because you want
to learn about like what is going on in
the classroom so we got at the spotlight
of the the global Community with this
tweet of bankless Argentina is leading
the way because we are taking solidity
to the high school curriculum and we
want to share some of our uh insights so
far the program is called practicas
professional sanes you can translate
that to professional practice programs
where we have 24 students from Seven
schools that are coming to a lab they
are taking our ethereum developer pack
and they are building a product this is
has been two years of creating an
open-source content with five modules
but we are not yet there to include that
to the high school curriculum so what we
are doing is having a hands-on
experience because kids are super smart
they already know what they want to do
so we are giving the tools and ethereum
can chat light to like opaque process
and in Argentina they have something
called cadora parents put some money on
a fund and they have to decide maybe by
the end of the year to do a trip or
buying some equipment for the classrooms
but sometimes there is some suspicious
use of the of the funds so with a smart
contract that they are developing they
want to create this product we are
having an MVP we are documenting all of
these we have two teams so we have the
non-technical students like people in
design advertisement and also we have
the programmers and they are working
together we have three insights so far
that we want to share and we are
documenting that first you have to give
ownership to the students because
they're super smart they already know
what they want to do and they have a
they will come with an answer we you
also have to remain flexible so with the
theum developer pack they we are
adapting that every day and we are also
replicating some real work experience
they are communicating through Discord
documenting on GitHub they are having
Sprint reviews and I want to have a call
to action if you are seeing this talk
back home scan that QR code and let's
keep in touch because we want to share
that with the whole world we want to
start with Argentina that move to the
region and and if you are in Africa Asia
we would love to share that with you and
finally this is a provoking questions
how will you teach a the to your 15year
old nephew how we can take all this
sophisticated complex technology to them
and Inspire them to build a new future
this is what we are all about and if you
come with an answer let's keep in touch
and let's get ethereum out there and
spread the good that ethereum is taking
to the world thank you so much
great talk folks we're going to start
with one question that we have and a few
more that we prepared as well how can
these experiences become composable in
the region great question because
etherum is all about composability
actually we have our grants program so
there are a really talented group in
Colombia they are developing a plugin
for Moodle we have our campus on this
open- Source platform that has plugins
so we are doing attestations so our C
courses are being attested on using the
ethereum attestation service and we are
creating these like synergies with
products that already exist and that are
being integrated uh Crypton native tools
all right this question is packed with
several responses as well who are the
teachers firstly describe them first the
teachers after having like this
Spotlight from after the tweeting Bank
list we were overwhelmed about like like
30 people want to collaborate we have
amazing develop ERS and I think this is
the spirit of ethereum people learn
something and they want to share it with
the world so usually there are
developers that are specialized in
really Niche use cases and we are taking
that knowledge going through the
framework that we have developed and we
teach them how to teach because they
already great talented coders and now
they want to become teachers and are
these sessions online or offline online
we are documenting that we are uploading
that to our campus so people can also
learn how to teach about these topics
can you mention any web three usage of
crypto Argentina perhaps a student
project that you're very very proud of
the one that we mentioned the cadora
this is like our MVP and the thing that
we want to share with the world
okay our audience ask if we wanted to
host educational events in our local
area following this curriculum how can
we replicate that or great question our
content is open source so we have that
on gitbook on each module on GitHub so
you can make a PR on we can get in touch
and we are more than happy to share the
knowledge thank you that wraps up the
Q&A before we conclude the session
perhaps one minute to do a uh key
classic concept takeaway final message
for the
audience uh huh how can we spread
ethereum for good I mean sometimes we
are uping the clouds in the ideas and we
make we need to make it tangible and as
Romy mentioned uh that was one of our
main uh takeaways this year like we are
having Young and the new generation
coming to our events so we need to think
about about uh context and you like a
student friendly uh content for them so
we need to get on board like the new
generation
