'BitGeneration', a project that aims to bring Bitcoin education to Italian high schools.
BitPolito, a group of students from Turin Polytechnic University involved in Bitcoin education, research and development in Italy, announced 'BitGeneration', a project that aims to bring Bitcoin education to Italian high schools.
The university will host 10 meetings lasting three hours each for 30 third, fourth and fifth grade students at a local high school.
"Experts and teachers had already talked about Bitcoin in the past to some classes through small independent initiatives, but BitGeneration has a completely different tone. For the first time, an Italian public school is embracing Bitcoin education in a formal way: the 30 hours are part of what is called Pcto (pathway for transversal skills and orientation), a 300-hour course of compulsory work over a three-year period for all students in the country".
The lessons taught cover various aspects of Bitcoin, from financial inclusion, economics and societal structures to computer science and game theory. There are also practical lessons that focus on demonstrating the ease of use of Bitcoin. Topics include "creating a seed phrase and wallet, downloading and managing a complete node, blockchain analysis and mining (with a real Antminer S9 ASIC provided by BitPolito)".
The speakers involved in this initiative include some of the best-known names in the Italian Bitcoin sphere, such as Giacomo Zucco, Riccardo Giorgio Frega, Alekos Filini, Daniela Brozzoni and Riccardo Masutti.
Giacomo Zucco, who gave the first lecture on 31 January, said that "the teachers were enthusiastic. When they asked me some questions after the lecture, about a third of the students gathered around me to listen. I saw bright faces despite the three-hour lesson'.
Nicolo Terranova, a member of the group and one of the main people responsible for the initiative, explained the expansion plans, saying 'we would like to expand the project in the future. In the next edition, we will make a documentary that will tell the story of the students' education, from the point of view of the students themselves. We hope that other schools will take the initiative as an example, we are ready to help'.
According to the press release, the 10 lessons will be posted on BitPolito's YouTube channel so that anyone can watch the course for free.
