Teenagers are old to handle this stuff, they are already old enough to make decisions, and of course, they know what is right and what is wrong. So teaching them is not hard nor we can think it was a waste of time but for sure it has positive results. We know that the current generation is much more active to the internet which means that they can easily understand how crypto works and I believe they are even wanted to learn things that could give them money. But what you need OP is to have clear teaching strategies in order to for them to fully understand. And it won't be simply done in one day or two, but kinda be days...
From the pictures above this looks like my country coupled with the names I am seeing on the board. Well I am very much happy seeing that bitcoin adoption and teaching is really going globally. However I would suggest to you during your next presentation you should make it more practically to the students for them to see and view how bitcoin looks like, since is a computer class they always expect the class to be more interactive by doing it practical where they could feel and see what they are learning.
Finally, many people know the importance of Bitcoin. We have gone a long a way already but this is not the end. Currently, there are still more countries who are not into Bitcoin yet and that will be the Bitcoin's next target. I can't imagine the Bitcoins' value once all of those countries joined Bitcoin but if I can only guess then maybe Bitcoin will be hovering at $800k up to 1 million dollars already 
.For starters, what the OP did may be enough already but once the students gets familiar with the basics maybe that was the time for the OP to upgrade his teaching materials although I think this is also costly but if we can be able to donate some BTC's to him then why not?
I think the initiative you have taken is very good. You work hard to teach what Bitcoin is. Still many people don't know what Bitcoin is. Don't give bitcoin ideas to the elderly. Because they won't be able to easily grasp and understand what Bitcoin is. You don't give the idea of Bitcoin to very young children. You introduce Bitcoin to the young and middle-aged.
But you don't tell anyone to invest in Bitcoin. Because if he invests and suffers a loss, he will hold you fully responsible. You keep giving them the idea of Bitcoin. At some point they will automatically understand what Bitcoin is and what it does. Later they will invest Bitcoin themselves.

Well, mate, the most important people to teach bitcoin should be young and middle-aged people, because most old people will find it difficult to understand, and you know how old people are, they can't hold a coin for a long period of time, because most of them will need money to solve their problems, but young people can take the risk by holding a coin because they are more technologically savvy.

In a class of 20 students, there is always the curious student who doesn't depend on spoon-fed information; they always want to add to the knowledge of what they have been taught. From your pictures, I can guess that some of those students are older than 17 years, which gives most of them the opportunity to have a cell phone, so my question is, did you give them some sources where they can learn more, and should they have the time to do so?
In every Bitcoin education, it is also wise to point out the risks involved and never compel people to invest in Bitcoin. Kudos! OP

You are a big help in making this ecosystem grow. Access to information about Bitcoin should not be limited to countries with reliable internet access. We can always find ways to introduce Bitcoin to others so they can see the opportunities it presents. It may not be easy for some to understand, but with proper education, they can become more interested in learning about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
Eventually, as they become more involved in the ecosystem, they will not only learn about Bitcoin, but the entire crypto market. Teenagers should not only focus on enjoying their lives, but also think about their future financial capacity. It is a smart initiative to teach them early so they can mature financially at an earlier age.
GREAT JOB OP!

It was a great step to start introducing bitcoin to school students, and it looks like more people will do the same as you to teach what bitcoin is and how to use it.
Is it just one lesson or are there plans to incorporate it into the school's curriculum? If so, it will provide new insights for these students to start preparing for their future using crypto, especially bitcoin, and start investing in bitcoin using their pocket money (if they have it) or using part of their salary to invest in bitcoin.
What you do must be followed up so that people don't forget what you teach so that their introduction to bitcoin doesn't stop there. Congratulations on your story @OP and continue to introduce bitcoin to more people.

This will be great, if Op shows the students some practical example like how to create a wallet and also how to send some transactions that would be more effective than just writing on the board for the kids. Op should use the school's computers i.e if they have any to show them and if the school lacks computer Op can just borrow from a friend and organize the class for them.
And in the process of all this Op might also be opportune to talk about the different types of Bitcoin wallet addresses and also the benefits/advantages that each addresses has.
I think all schools and universities should teach students about crypto and blockchain
Some schools and universities already offers cryptography as a course of study.
Just a single pc is okay to carry out the practical effectively. If would like to go extra mile then getting a projector to project it will be the best to them, but nonetheless we have to appreciate op for the effort and bold steps he took to teach those students. I believe not everyone of us here could be able to devote their time to teach or even discuss with their friends about the fast growing digital world.

I was inspired by fellow forum members the last time,I made a post that i taught business women about the adoption of bitcoin as an alternative payment method in their businesses. Some people said the women are too old and might not be able to add impact on the adoption of bitcoin, that I should teach younger ones and not the age range of business women.
Anyone can do anything as long as what they do can provide benefits that have a positive impact towards change. Your efforts in teaching teenagers about Bitcoin are good work. I think you are doing this based on a premise so that teenagers can understand Bitcoin thoroughly.You must be able to ensure that your initiative in teaching them must continue gradually. You must be able to make sure they understand how to use the internet so that one day they know how to keep Bitcoin safe.
Has the school included Bitcoin as an official subject included in the curriculum?
A good step to be able to introduce bitcoin to some teenage students who cannot access information easily. Of course it will require more effort so they can understand what is being discussed. Seeing the writing on the board reminds me of when I was in high school and by writing the teacher's explanation on the board it will be easier to remember and understand it than now, who only use smartphones or printer printouts without the need to rewrite them.
when they can catch what you explain about bitcoin and they are interested, it is a sign that you are successful in teaching bitcoin knowledge. More students are asking questions and they are naturally curious about how bitcoin works. If you have a smartphone that can support direct bitcoin transactions, maybe you can do a practice session on how to send and receive bitcoins, so they will be more interested. If it's just theory, over time it will become a saturated class.

I think my life would changed a lot if crypto was introduced to me back when I was a student.
I could have spend my time on crypto and earn instead of just playing around in computer on my free time and spending my money on games.
I know some students who earn a lot and changed their life through the help of crypto.

Even if you are no longer a student, you are a married person who is never too late to invest and earn profits from Bitcoin. We are still in the early stages of the Bitcoin revolution, still very early and have many opportunities to make profits. If you don't earn money now, it's your fault, I believe even if you know bitcoin earlier you can't have a better life.
It depends on his financial status since having a family especially on a 3rd world country is very hard because your salary will only be sufficient to your family daily expenses. I’m not married yet but I’m still having a hard time on saving money for investment because of my personal expenses.
Maybe your job is sufficient to have an extra money for investment but the average family on a 3rd world country usually living just enough from the salary due to low minimum wage while inflation hits hard. Being single is the best if you want to start investment because you still don’t have any responsibilities financially to your family.
Third world countries do have weaker economies than developed countries, but not everyone is poor, there are still rich people, there are still people who make money from their own hands. I also live in a 3rd world country, I'm not rich, but my friend is rich, and I can't blame my country. Simply because I'm not as good as my friend when you have enough money, even higher inflation doesn't matter. Do not try to blame the country when you are not rich, with that mindset, even living in a developed country you cannot be rich.

Adoption starts with information dissemination. It is good to know that someone is spreading information about Bitcoin to the next generation. We may not see the effect of this action today but I am sure once this kid has the capability, they will join us in the Bitcoin community.
Good work there @OP, this may not be beneficial for you, but you reach out your hand to inform these kids and share the opportunities given by the Bitcoin industry. Though other see this as form of merit farm, I think you deserve the merit you get here.

Good to see the spread happening around and the next set of bitcoiners getting prepared to do the same. From the pictures it is understandable that OP have taught about the basics of cryptocurrency. With the upcoming classes he can teach more about bitcoin. I too have the same suggestion, making them experience how the transaction takes place and how it can be viewed and the same doesn't have physical appearance will make the session even more interesting.We have said it all, I believe op reads through this thread so he will quickly accepts some suggestions that would be made here. I just wish everyone will take same bold steps to enlighten most of the young teenager over their localities to greatly spread the max adoption of bitcoin.
You deserve appreciation. What you are doing is a good deed to educate people about Bitcoin. I'm interested in your story. I see here that there are some students you have taught and they are showing an interest in Bitcoin. This is certainly an indication that if we do education, I'm sure there will be many other people who are interested in the cryptocurrency world.

Do not thonk it can be even more interactive thing
I don't understand what you mean please could you explain more further?
At least I was very clear and plain from my explanation. I only suggested op should be more practical with the students at then they will understand and know more on what they are being taught.

Are you a teacher or just a guest who gave a free lecture on the basic fundamentals of bitcoin? That was incredibly fascinating, buddy. But we really cannot say that businesswomen are not open to new technologies like bitcoin. Individuals in their fifties and above consisting of men and women are not particularly interested in bitcoin. Those teenagers, who are just beginning their development, are considering their options on what degrees they can take in college. We can infer that the majority of them are interested, particularly when it involves the internet.
