I just came across this great news,

* Australian Primary School Students Explore Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technology.

According to the article,

"The ‘School on the Blockchain’ Program Provides Young Students With Many Opportunities to Explore Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technology".

Let's appreciate this move and I am sure this would make it easier for next generations to learn and explore this new technology. What do you think about it?

This seems like a nice concept, especially the fact that they seem to engage with the students better than they are initially doing. I think one of the most important things in life is to have full financial sovereignty and be able to retain full control over your finances, unaffected by government intervention and whatnot. And currently, cryptocurrencies are the most viable(or rather, the only viable) way to achieve this end goal.

A lot of people are missing out on this revolution because they haven't been taught from an early stage. But this school is obviously quite advanced, and i support that.

However, my primary concern is actually students caring too much about money. For example in the article it says that students want to launch their own ICO or whatnot. This proves to me that they're in it for the profit, imo. If they really had a great idea and wanted to contribute then they would have released without an ICO or anything. This can become a bad habit, and is no good for neither the kids nor the crypto community.

Nice way for that school in Australia to start them out early about learning what the blockchain technology can provide them. And according to the article, the kids belong to the lower income neighborhood, so the learnings they can get from this would help them alleviate their future. Seems like they really prepared for this, complete with different modules and teaching instruments so the students can better grasp the lessons they are being taught.

Educating people that they can have full control of their money is bad? Well bitcoin is a good concept for students to know since it exhibits a nice quality of being a currency and at the same time being an investment. Not only that, it also demonstrates that there can be some progress in economics to be made without the aid of the banks and the government.

Idk what is bad with those..

That is great. I guess it is never too young to learn about bitcoin, blockchain and crypto in general. This is a good initiative for Australian primary schools. I guess we know where our next core devs are coming from. Wink

That sounds great! I hope the other countries would do the same. Education is key to success and I think if we spread more information about Bitcoin, it would provide more opportunities especially to the youth. Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are concepts that should be given more notice and recognition worldwide.

As users, let's continue our support for the promotion of Bitcoin!

This is a welcome development by the Australian government taking bitcoin technology to the schools I am very convinced that by the time these pupils enters the university they must have been amassed with vast information and knowledge about bitcoin technology and I am very sure other countries will initiates those measures adopted by the Australian government as regards bitcoin.

That is quite surprising, to think that they are introducing cryptocurrencies to children. Do you think that it is appropriate for "Primary School" to tackle these matters? I guess not. Though it is a good point to teach about Bitcoin in schools. It will help the next generation for the awareness and other benefit from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

I think it is appropriate for primary schools. Even very young kids should learn the basics about Bitcoin, because it will be very useful for them in the future. The earlier the better. As well as computer science and money basics in general...

Yeah, blockchain technology would solve many socioeconomic problems. Minecraft on Storj blockchain, proof-of-existence, proof-of-importance, bitcoinVR, immutable authenticated reporting, building full nodes, these primary school kids are learning some serious stuff. The school has their own cryptocurrency, Woorannacoin and four kids already want to start their ICO Grin

I guess by grade 6, school on the blockchain program would make these kids blockchain specialists/developers Cheesy

More schools should adopt this program. Blockchain technology is the future and integrating it in school curriculum somewhat prepares students to opt for blockchain related jobs in the future.

Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi! Looks like Australia is really moving ahead of the crowd in terms of Bitcoin. Even though they might not be the richest country or the most technologically advanced country, they are certainly making a run for it with Bitcoin. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bitcoin becomes mainstream in Australia with all the attention it has been getting recently.

Lets see if other countries follow suit.

This only shows us that they are serious regarding bitcoins, and they are willing to have or share those learning at school. This is also quiet nice to hear that Australia has this kind of school, and it could also teach youngsters to learn and earn at the same time. Not only that it could also be a big help for the students to handle their financial of funds at their young age along with proper guidance from school and from their parents.

I think it's a very good thing among schools to do knowledge about crypto, maybe things like this should be developed from now on for them, because I'm sure if they were told about Bitcoin, surely they would understand the true meaning of crypto. In the future.
