Are you raising a future Bitcoiner? A new startup has just surfaced with one vision: to educate our children about Bitcoin. How will this happen, you ask? That is where The Bitcoin Academy and Bitcoin Bootcamp come in. The idea is very simple and will allow students of all ages to learn about Bitcoin and Cryptography in both the classroom and online.

According to founder Morgan Rockwell, “The Bitcoin Academy has a goal of creating a network of classrooms online & in the real world including real dedicated classrooms in major cities around the world. We will organize business clubs and foundations, meetups and conferences, seminars and hangouts, all dedicated to teaching the world of Crypto Currency and Bitcoin as a new means of mathematical & financial expression and freedom.”

“There are actually two businesses, The Bitcoin Academy and Bitcoin Bootcamp. The vision for these began when I started thinking about how to introduce Bitcoin to the brick and mortar world. I started creating devices that are open source in both hardware and software that could make a machine accept Bitcoin. I feel that The Bitcoin Academy is a priority to all Bitcoin supporters. I feel there is a missing aspect of education that teaches kids the benefits and how to use Bitcoin. We need to get back to teaching kids math and science again.”

This exciting idea focuses on partnering with schools around the nation. It will start by creating classes dedicated to Bitcoin and crypto currency, then will partner with a school who adds the class to their curriculum. The first classes are planned to be held in Portland, Oregon schools by contacting and partnering with district trustees in the area. The Bitcoin Academy will focus on partnering with schools K-12 while Bitcoin Bootcamp will focus on adopting classes into private schools. The adoption of The Bitcoin Academy curriculum in a single school will allow them to create similar classes in other schools around the nation, and the curriculum will increase as the number of supporting schools increases.
