Community News: Australian Students set up Steemit Node to learn about blockchain and cryptocurrencies
Australian Primary School Students Explore Bitcoin
Now we here at 'Community News' don't pretend to know what this all means, but the report out over the weekend from Victoria, Australia, is that Wooranna Park Primary School is exploring blockchain and cryptocurrency technology, with many students participating blockchain based activities daily.
To facilitate this learning initiative, each classroom is being set up with a Steemit Node for what they are calling 'Immutable Authenticated Reporting.'
We at 'Community News', believe the program described in the article below to be an excellent initiative and would like to commend the intelligent and innovative teachers at Wooranna Park Primary School for giving Australian children a better chance of long term success in the future blockchain world.
With thanks to Samuel Haig of Bitcoin.com for this report
A search of the blockchain reveals that this initiative looks to have been the innovation of Steemians @derekareith @kdnolan and @blakemiles84
A spokesperson from the School @woorannaparkps has released the following mission statement.
To provide students with a learning environment that recognises children learn best when engaged with real world, authentic tasks, involving problem solving and collaboration with peers on interdisciplinary, research based project work – where the teacher‟s role includes that of coach and facilitator and where students are empowered to take responsibility for their learning.

We at Community News are most impressed with the program and wish the students and teachers the best in these ongoing endevours.
THE EDITOR
These kind of activites need to be enforced throughout the world, with many competitions so that every child can find motivation in reading, writing, photography etc.. Pass on to government official! Rather spend 100 000 000,-- AUD on this, than again discussing nonsense dual-citizenship or the private sexual preferences of your neighbours.
Teaching kids about this stuff is important for us all dude.
Blockchain and crytos are the future.
Nice one SK
that's nice!
