The first recorded bitcoin class was taught a 4th grade group
On May 18, 2012, a pioneering educational event took place: the first Bitcoin class was taught to a 4th grade group in a public school. The class aimed to demystify Bitcoin for the students, explaining the basics of digital money and how it differs from the physical currency they were familiar with.
The kids asked the following questions:
1. When you send Bitcoins around the world, do they go up through a satellite and back down the other side?
2. What happens if you don't want a Bitcoin address anymore? Can you just delete it?
3. Can you make Bitcoin addresses anything you want (besides those long ugly strings)?
