CJ Olive Networks Supports Free Coding Education
Employees Develop Curriculum Reflecting IT Trends, “CJ Olive Networks announced on the 19th that the total number of students who completed the ‘CJ SW Creative Camp,’ which provides free coding education, has exceeded 13,000. CJ SW Creative Camp, which is in its 10th year of operation this year, is conducted for up to 15 weeks, integrated with independent grading system and after-school classes.”
“Initially, it targeted middle school students in the capital area, but since the shift to non-face-to-face digital education due to COVID-19, it has been expanding its reach to address regional education disparities. It has been implemented in over 30 schools so far.”
“In addition, CJ Olive Networks employees are directly involved in the development of a curriculum that reflects IT trends, allowing students to enhance their creativity and logical thinking through coding classes.”
“CJ SW Creative Camp provides a Python coding course using LEGO to help students solve real-life social issues and make coding enjoyable for students.”
“Middle school students at Mokpo Hyemin Girls’ Middle School, who gained an interest in coding through the 2022 CJ SW Creative Camp, have been actively participating in SW and AI-related activities both within and outside the school even after the program ended. They have shown their presence in various competitions such as winning second place in the Jeollanam-do Student SW Convergence Hackathon and participating in the Software Thinking Olympiad.”
“In the second half of this year, CJ SW Creative Camp will also provide 15 weeks of SW coding education to middle school students residing in Jeju City and Sejong City, introducing new curricula utilizing augmented reality, virtual reality, ChatGPT, and other latest IT technologies to foster creative thinking.”
“A new program called SW School Attack, where employees go directly to educate IT-excluded youth such as multicultural, low-income, and mid-entry immigrant youth, is actively being carried out.”
“Baek Jae-min, in charge of management support at CJ Olive Networks, said, ‘CJ SW Creative Camp supports young people in understanding the digital world and growing into future tech talents. We will continue to provide the latest SW education opportunities to students in various regions.'”
