In an attempt to educate its inhabitants about blockchain, Egypt has started the first ever Blockchain School, namely Codeaku startup. The impulse behind this idea is to motivate the skilled youth of Egypt to become coders in blockchain.

In an interview with Egypt Today, Hassan Ali explained his idea behind forming the coding school. He expressed that rather than getting a high-paying job, the youth should have education regarding the benefits of the technology. And as per his statements, this is achievable by becoming a coder.

Ali also further noted the reason behind his idea. He said that there was a lack of offline coding schools which aggravated the situation. Due to the absence of any practical field to study coding on blockchain, people faced many issues. Thus, he envisioned to create a pathway for helping the people and finally was able to create Codeaku.

Codeaku can set a base to make people understand the fundamentals of Blockchain Technology. The youth can know and use the various applications of blockchain like transparency, securing data and the DLT technology. The Government can also be benefited by the use of this technology, says Ali.

Currently, Codeaku startup has collaborated with October 6 University to form Egypt’s First Blockchain Club. Moreover, the team is also going to have some meet-ups with iHub in this month. The startup also aims to introduce Wave 2 to computer science for its students.

The blockchain startup has also bagged a position among 15,000 other startups in the Y Combinator Startup School. The Y Combinator has also backed up firms like Dropbox and Airbnb. Codeaku has also aligned with Government Blockchain Association to start a local chapter at Cairo.
