Tips for Teaching Teenagers Cryptocurrency / Blockchain?
Next week, I'll begin teaching some of my students (Business Spanish class) class about Cryptocurrency, the differences between Crypto and Fiat money and the concept of the Blockchain.
In our pre-assessment, none of the 15 teenage students had heard of Bitcoin or any other Cryptocurrencies. Many of them mentioned that their families send money home via expensive transfers. This technology can really help their lives.

I've gathered some resources in Spanish and English and I'll be using my own experience, but I'm sure there is some fantastic stuff out there that I'm missing. All students have access to Chromebooks.
If you have any interesting stories, videos, articles that you think could really catch they eyes/ears of a teenager, please share in the comments below!

It's a tough subject even for adults - I know I still struggle to wrap my head around aspects of blockchain. You'll probably catch their interest more with a storytelling style - the story of the 10,000 bitcoin pizza is an awesome myth, as is the anonymity of Satoshi. Get them hooked on the idea, and the ones who are feeling ambitious will be able to take advantage of resources like coindesk and ilk to learn more.
But I'm not a teacher, so I could be way off base.
Thanks for the advice. The pizza story is a great hook.
That's a cool way to spread the word @nepd!!!
I'd recommend introducing them to some of the videos by @bitcoinmeister (Adam), @crypt0 (Omar), and @marketingmonk (Chris).
Thank you @cognoscre -- Will definitely check out their videos!
nice thanks for sharing
