LG U+ is holding the "iDream Challenge LG U+ AI Plus Camp" jointly with the Ministry of National Defense for the children and families of military service members. On the 14th, LG U+ said the event was designed to help military children's understanding and hands-on use of AI, as well as strengthen their future digital capabilities.

The event will be held as a family invitation program at Gonjiam Resort in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. The theme is "Special Mission! Protect Mom and Dad, Little AI Guardians."

A total of 303 people will take part, including 110 fourth- through sixth-graders and 193 guardians. The program will consist of a magic show using generative AI, multiple AI experience programs, and an AI hackathon, helping participating students build experience in understanding and using AI.

The core program is the AI hackathon. With help from mentors, participants will use sensors and coding to build guardian robots, then create presentation materials using AI as a final activity and present the results.

The venue will feature AI experience booths for participating children, including an AI photo booth, an AI motion tracking zone, AI webtoon creation, and an AI voice experience. Programs for guardians will also run in parallel.

Parents will attend a special lecture on "Children's Education in the AI Era," which will cover changes in the educational environment in the generative AI era and proper ways to use AI. While their children take part in the hackathon, parents can rest or spend time enjoying family activities.

The AI camp was planned against the backdrop of the spread of generative AI across everyday life and education, and aims to help the children of military service members experience key future technologies firsthand and learn proper AI use. Through this, LG U+ plans to expand opportunities for AI education and contribute to building digital capabilities and nurturing future talent.
