Ateneo de Manila University conducted its first blockchain elective course class last January 22, 2019. Lyceum of the Philippines began offering it last this February 12, 2019.

As an elective course, this does not entail that the student will graduate with a bachelor of science, major in blockchain. Rather, taking the elective will equip the students with the required skills to have a career in blockchain development.

NEM Philippines also conducted workshops in different schools. Some of which, like the ICCT Colleges Workshop that happened last January 10, 2019 is conducted to prepare for the offering of the blockchain elective courses. Training and workshops may serve as precursors to elective courses. October 2018 saw a NEM blockchain training seminar at the Lyceum of the Philippines, 3 months before the university offered the elective to students. Also, elective classes will be done for 36 hours excluding exams, making it a full semester class.

NEM Philippines has a very active community in the country and is on an awareness campaign to promote blockchain in schools. In contrast to large scale blockchain events happening in the metro that attract different players in the blockchain ecosystem, it chose to bring these awareness campaigns in different universities in the Philippines. The first of which happened at the Far Eastern University Makati in October 2017.

Ateneo, in partnership with NEM Philippines, has built AMBERLAB, a non-profit blockchain think tank which aims to be an incubation hub and center of research as to how blockchain can improve the lives of Filipinos.
