Blockchain aims to lower the barriers for people all over the world. Yet, in the early days, Bitcoin had a diversity problem: 90% of Bitcoin users in a CoinDesk survey in 2015 were male. & Nbsp;
Some people emphasize gender issues in the technology sector as a foundation for gender inequality in the blockchain. Only about 10% of all IT graduates are women in the United States. However, that number can change drastically: a university has got the report up to 40% in less than a decade it has been deliberate and systematic on the opening of technological possibilities to women. & Nbsp;
For an industry that is proud of decentralization and the creation of accessibility for all, ensuring that people who are creating solutions can accurately represent as many carriers of possible problems is crucial. & Nbsp;
This is why programs like Blockchain Learning GroupTraining and hackathons for high school children can help fill this essential gap. Blockchain Learning Group offers high-value corporate and governmental workshops in which it has worked with several industry leaders, but collaborate with schools for the need to evangelize blockchain knowledge early and to help create future blockchain leaders. They have worked with several high schools including a number of high schools of all girls – and they are trying to systematize the program all over the world. & Nbsp;
They provide the same training methodology that helps top executives and engineers understand blockchain concepts to high school teens and helps them work with practical blockchain concepts by teaching them the programming skills and design knowledge they need to get started. build their own apps on different blockchains.
By culminating in a hackathon that helps show what students have learned, these high school students have built all sorts of useful applications, from participatory budget apps that allow tax payers to choose where to spend their tax money to block apps that help to track fair trade products throughout their supply chain.
Plans are underway to obtain up to 1,000 schools on this system, spread in very distant countries such as Canada and Australia. The program started with some high schools in both countries, including some high schools of all girls. They tend to work with schools looking for additional educational content in technology and have found a voracious appetite for their program.
Australian high school students at a girls' school were able to take advantage of the training they received to win the Smart Cities Hackathon in Melbourne – winning awards for DApps developed on the Ethereum blockchain. In addition to the training provided, perhaps the most important thing was the opening of a new series of possibilities to these high school girls who were exposed to new technological concepts and careers that they had not known a short time ago.
Another girl's high school was able to leverage the training provided to help familiarize students and teachers with the possibilities of the blockchain. Industry experts and speakers were introduced by the Blockchain Learning Group to help spread more learning and create new networks for these future graduates to build something. The training did not concern only technical aspects: the students were taught the design process and learned how to iterate towards the construction of something useful and salable.
As an enthusiastic student who was part of the program said: "Through the engaging practical experience Blockchain Learning Group has provided me, I am now able to build my decentralized applications with confidence and quietly program the Solidity intelligent contracts. workshops were extremely useful and only made me more enthusiastic about the Blockchain technology and its potential. "
Programs like this are needed to bring more people into the blockchain and to train future entrepreneurs and innovators who will take the industry to new heights.
