It is not news that the technology industry as a whole is constantly dominated by men. In this way, the blockchain ecosystem is no different, even if we are talking about a decentralized technology, designed to reduce obstacles all over the world.
However, things could change.
The Blockchain Learning Group program, the first to train high school girls with blockchain skills, can help fill this gap. The program, currently underway in Canada and Australia, is collaborating with several high schools to spread the knowledge of the subject among the girls.
So far, high school students have worked with practical blockchain concepts, learning programming skills and design knowledge – and have already built a variety of blockchain apps, from "Participatory budgets" to the "Tracing of Fair Trade Products".
The initiative looks promising and now the team behind it is planning to take it to other countries, involving more high schools and students – filling the gender gap in the blockchain ecosystem one step at a time.
