Empowering Latin America: BNB Chain and Platzi Launch Web3 Development Course

Introduction to the New Course

It’s a match made in blockchain heaven! BNB Chain, the brainchild of Binance, and Platzi, a shining star in the educational galaxy, are teaming up to launch a sensational Web3 development course tailored specifically for Latin America. By the year’s end, they hope to reach a whopping 30,000 students!

Why Education Matters

Let’s face it—understanding crypto shouldn’t be rocket science, yet many find themselves lost in a sea of jargon. According to a survey, almost 10% of crypto holders admitted they don’t quite grasp how the technology ticks. Talk about a confidence boost—a little bit of education goes a long way!

The Impact on the Region

In places like Latin America, where traditional banking can often feel like diving into a circus ring blindfolded, education is the key to unlocking potential. Regina, BNB Chain’s investment director, emphasized that boosting accessibility to Web3 resources can supercharge regional development and create a brighter financial future.

Embracing Blockchain in El Salvador

Take El Salvador, for instance. As the first country to embrace Bitcoin as legal tender, the nation is on an educational crusade to make crypto literacy a reality. Their grassroots program, “Mi Primer Bitcoin” (My First Bitcoin), is doing just that—empowering young minds to grasp the fundamentals of crypto, one diploma at a time.

Incentives for Learning

What’s more enticing than a well-crafted curriculum? Scholarships! Participants in the upcoming BNB Chain Developer Camp in Bogota are in for a treat, as a limited number of scholarships will be available for those eager to jump into the new online course.

Crypto Landscape in Latin America

Latin America is riding the crypto wave with all its might. Recently, Binance and Mastercard made waves by releasing prepaid crypto cards in Argentina, making the retail experience richer than a double chocolate cake. Regina sums it up perfectly: “We need to balance retail experience with building potential. There’s a massive community aware of crypto and its daily utilities.”
