It would be interesting to see who the first teachers are to do this and if the media picks them up. I know small media outlets would as they pretty much cover anything.
POS Wallets could teach a lot about basic math even to elementary school kids. PiggyCoin in fact seems geared in that direction, it's like a Piggybank.

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

I had a teacher at University that talked about bitcoin in his economics courses, a few years back. It wasn't a whole class on crypto but it was really good to see that kids are receptive and open to it and I'm sure that thanks to him some have bought into it. So yeah, I'm all for crypto in schools.  |

Maybe in other country, but in my country I think not yet because there are only few who knows about bitcoin. And I think it's a way harder in bitcoin in terms of mathematics. As per my experience until now I am not sure on computing equivalent of some of crypto currencies. I need to use calculator or convert it by google.

To be honest, I don't like the idea of teaching math using cryptocurrency.
Considering the vast majority of people use paper money in everyday life, it would be better to teach school children how to use math fundamentals by traditional means, rather than by digital cryptos, which have so many uncertainties in prospect.
Let's not forget that some countries consider cryptos to be illegal. So what for to teach it at school?

I believe it's not mathematics but economics. The volatility of it's price can be explained by the relationship of the supply and demand of the coin which is truly Economics. Aside from that, crypto-markets are mostly identical to stock markets.

i think it maybe too utility for children and the algorithm is advanced for non-math majors, i heard the one school in England may set the Asch Academy, maybe its a great way to teach blockchain

I only support this approach. Any learning is always easier to give students if it is based on specific examples. But, unfortunately, the school curriculum always approved by the Ministry of education. The government is not interested in the spread of crypto-currencies, therefore, will never agree to such a program. |

Agree, and the news says that top Russian universities will start to offer courses in cryptocurrency from next year.

One of my friend's professor in economics taught about crypto currency and how much possible income it could give. He said he was shocked when his professor talked about it coz he never knew some professionals here in my country knew about bitcoin.

I don't think that crypto will spread so wide to teach it at school. There is no financial education in school as well (because it's harmful for governments) and you are talking about crypto =))

Don't let make things hassle. Just let the normal lesson of Mathematics today on what it should be. Other lesson for crypto must be on seperate time and not mixed on other subject. It can mentioned but not as a whole. |

I don't agree with you, it is nonsense to me. Cryptocurrencies are not be a way to teach something. They are very complicated even for most people. Teaching math is also difficult.

That would be something I think kids could understand the basics of but I was thinking more about POS wallets. They should also teach in high school you can trade with .25% fee instead of $6. |

if only those time while I'm in college if our teachers are already into these crypto currency it would be definitely the time to start and invest as early as possible. But if in school it would be on early subjects like advanced basics or semi algebra.

Yeah if we give children to solve 1 hash a day for homework at lowest difficulty, we're bound to find a block. Mining with children, I like it, best of all they eat very little and you don't have to pay them. Way better than dealing with ASIC manufacturers pre-orders.

Uhmn, you mean in school as basic mathematics? Or only for Programming as basic logic and understanding regarding digital currencies and blockchain technology would definitely the best subject for IT and computer science and Computer Engineering. |

The crypto disciplines are already practiced in a number of Universities, so I'm sure not much time has been left till our children will be in theme from the school years. Maybe they will face this topic first just in indirect ways, as an examples etc.., but as for high school, I have no doubts cryptocurrency will be involved in a program.
