We are especially excited about our partnership with bitfwd. The first step is adding an introduction to cryptocurrency to our core curriculum. With this addition, we can potentially leapfrog our refugee students into web 3.0 while giving them the foundations they need in the current digital space. I don’t say this too lightly, but the knowledge, exposure, and participation for our students could be life-changing.
