Bitskwela and Sonic Labs Launch Blockchain Student Alliance
The Filipino-led edutech firm Bitskwela, in collaboration with Sonic Labs, has launched the Blockchain Student Alliance (BSA) to address educational gaps in blockchain technology within universities. Despite a growing interest in blockchain across the Philippines, many students lack practical experience and understanding of its applications. The BSA aims to provide hands-on learning opportunities through workshops conducted at various institutions such as Mapua University and Manila Central University from October to November 2024.
Andrea Pilapil, head of BSA, emphasized that while student curiosity about blockchain is increasing, there remains a significant need for experiential learning beyond theoretical knowledge. Hermoso Tupas Jr., an instructor at the University of Southeastern Philippines, highlighted the importance of integrating blockchain education into curricula to prepare future innovators.
