✦ AI Summary

CJ OliveNetworks and the Gyeonggi Office of Education will operate an AI and autonomous-driving experience education program for elementary school students.

CJ OliveNetworks will run the 'AX Creativity Camp' for elementary school students in the jurisdiction of the Bucheon Office of Education in partnership with the Gyeonggi Office of Education's 'Sinnaneun Shared School.'

The program is in its second year after launching last year and consists of coding classes and autonomous-driving principle experiences.

CJ OliveNetworks and the Gyeonggi Office of Education said on the 13th that they will operate an educational program for elementary school students to experience the principles of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous driving. In partnership with the Gyeonggi Office of Education's 'Sinnaneun Shared School,' CJ OliveNetworks will run the 'AX Creativity Camp' for elementary school students in the jurisdiction of the Bucheon Office of Education. This year marks the second time the program has been held, following last year.

'Sinnaneun Shared School' is an out-of-school education platform operated by the Gyeonggi Office of Education. The platform supports participation in a range of programs linked with local communities and aims to help students directly experience and learn about fields of interest.

The program is run with employees taking part in the educational setting and consists of coding classes and hands-on activities. Instruction begins with learning the principles of autonomous driving and continues with block coding practice and model car driving exercises.

The sessions are conducted in a step-by-step practical format. After learning basic concepts, students write code themselves and are taught so they can understand the autonomous driving process by operating the vehicles directly.

The program is conducted with CJ OliveNetworks employees serving as technology mentors. The mentors explain the principles of autonomous driving and AI in a way suited to the students' level and help them write code. They also assist with operating the model cars and completing assignments, and guide hands-on practice so students can apply what they have learned directly.

The first class, held on the 10th, covered the principles of autonomous driving, including sensing surrounding information and driving according to different situations. Students assembled model cars and wrote code to determine vehicle behavior based on sensor-detected color and distance data. They then experienced the process of information recognition and decision-making by directly operating the model cars using conditional statements and loops.

On the 17th, practice is scheduled to continue in a space that recreates real road conditions. Students will design algorithms to carry out given tasks and practice implementing code.

Through this program, CJ OliveNetworks plans to improve students' logical thinking, enhance their problem-solving capabilities, and broaden their understanding of AI technology. Going forward, it plans to expand educational programs for teenagers and continue supporting the strengthening of the future generation's ability to use AI as well as efforts to close the education gap.

A CJ OliveNetworks official said the company hopes the education will help make students more familiar with autonomous driving technology and serve as an opportunity for them to bring their ideas to life through coding. The official added that, based on the AX expertise of its employees, the company will continue working with the local community on educational activities for future generations.
