DOST-ASTI will provide students with blockchain and NFT-focused workshops, learning materials, and practical activities. The program aims to offer children with technical skills as well as insights into professional ethics surrounding digital ownership, privacy, and security.
Recognizing blockchain’s potential to transform information transparency and ownership, the program highlights the ethical application of these technologies. DOST-ASTI seeks to educate the future generation about the benefits and problems presented by blockchain and NFTs, preparing them for the global digital economy.
To make sure the program’s success, DOST-ASTI is cooperating with technology companies and institutions to give students hands-on experience. Industry professionals will discuss current trends, problems, and future opportunities for blockchain and NFTs.
As the United States, Singapore, and Germany invest in blockchain education, the Philippines positions itself to remain competitive in the rising global digital economy. By investing in blockchain education, the Philippines wants to nurture future digital entrepreneurs and blockchain solution creators.
The DOST-ASTI program is not just aimed at empowering young people, but it is also part of a bigger government digitalization agenda. It aspires to ensure that the Philippines is ready for the next wave of economic growth powered by blockchain and NFTs.
