Buenos Aires Schools Pioneer Blockchain Education with Ethereum Foundation
On November 20, 2025, Buenos Aires took a significant step towards future-proofing its students, hosting a meeting between city officials and representatives from the Ethereum Foundation at the Ministry of Education. Head of Government Jorge Macri and Minister of Education Mercedes Miguel welcomed Aya miyaguchi, executive Director of the Ethereum foundation, the organization supporting the globally recognized Ethereum blockchain network.
The meeting highlighted Buenos Aires’ groundbreaking initiative to integrate blockchain and smart contract technology into the curriculum of its public technical secondary schools – a first for any city worldwide. Government representatives, members of multilateral organizations, and Ethereum Foundation personnel were present.
A key element of the day was direct engagement between students and leaders.Students from Technical Schools No.6 and 37, alongside graduates of the Skills for the Future Agency, shared thier experiences learning Solidity, the programming language central to developing applications on the Ethereum platform. These students are participating in the Ethereum Developer Pack, an intensive specialization offered through Talento Tech, the Agency’s technological training program developed in partnership with ETHKipu.
The program, structured around six modules, has already seen over 260 students graduate across three cohorts. The curriculum focuses on practical skills including smart contract creation,decentralized solution architecture,and Web3 service integration.
“We are humanizing our work in public policies and are absolutely convinced that there is nothing more powerful then education to propel people towards a better future,” stated Minister Miguel. “And it’s not just about education, but about learning – as learning is how we build a better future, and our students are demonstrating their capacity for innovation.”
by offering this cutting-edge education, Buenos Aires aims to equip students with in-demand skills for the evolving digital economy. Blockchain technology, with its secure and transparent record-keeping, is foundational to many emerging digital industries. The initiative empowers students to move beyond being technology users and become technology creators, opening doors to opportunities in the international job market.
