BNB Chain, a blockchain network formed by crypto exchange Binance, and Latin America-centric education platform Platzi reportedly disclosed details of an introduction for a Web3 development course for the area.

Specifically, towards the end of 2022, the course reportedly has a primary target of rolling out to 30,000 students. Gwendolyn Regina, investment director at BNB Chain, further revealed that this course emphasizes building the skills of developers.

“This is going to be the major educational resource available in Spanish for Web2 developers to build on Web3 with BNB Chain.”

This development reportedly is an attempt to amplify adoption at a greater scale of blockchain technology and Web3 education in the region. Generally, the major obstacles blocking entry into the sphere are accessibility and education, as well as uncertainty regulation-wise from local authorities. 

Even among the ones who have already bought crypto, the knowledge regarding the way technology works is often misunderstood. According to a survey from the Motley Fool, approximately 10% of respondents who own crypto said they still do not have a proper understanding of the way it actually functions.

Hence, education is key. The crucial factor is highlighted in areas such as Latin America, in which crypto possesses the potential to empower the local population beyond the scope of traditional, messy financial institutions.

“If we increase the accessibility to resources to build Web3 tools on BNB Chain, we can significantly support the development of the region.”

In El Salvador, the pioneering nation to grant Bitcoin its legal status attempts to provide knowledge to the general public on crypto is being carried out. 

The nation reportedly rolled out a grassroots diploma program dubbed Mi Primer Bitcoin, or “My First Bitcoin,” to work towards the primary goal of amplifying crypto literacy among young individuals.
