Gwangwoon Artificial Intelligence High School and RoboLink announced on the twelfth that they held the ‘2024 Gwangwoon AI Autonomous Driving Competition’ for middle school students.
The event, sponsored by Kwangwoon Academy, Seoul Metropolitan City, Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, Nowon-gu Office, ET Edu, Mokjeong Future Foundation, and XYG, was held on the seventh on the AI ​​Education Experience Center of Kwangwoon Artificial Intelligence High School. It is a technique of receiving coding and AI education based on Python after which applying it to autonomous driving.
This program will start on August twenty fifth, with training every Sunday for 2 weeks, and a contest on the seventh. Each team will present their algorithm design, including the originality of the autonomous driving environment they’ve envisioned, image learning and path setting, obstacle avoidance, and speed control, after which actually drive the coded autonomous driving automobile. The team’s performance will probably be comprehensively evaluated based on the two-day training content.
The ‘Big Pie’ team from Wolgye Middle School and Sangmyung Middle School received the Gwangwoon Academy Chairman’s Award, the ‘Geowon Middle School’ team from Geowon Middle School received the Seoul Mayor’s Award, and the ‘TOPS’ team from Seoun Middle School and Yeongdong Middle School received the Seoul Metropolitan Superintendent of Education Award.
Yongmun Middle School, which won the Gwangwoon Academy Chairman’s Award within the previous competition, formed a brand new team and received the ET Edu CEO Award, and the ‘Modeling’ team of Wolgok Middle School, Seongwon Middle School, and Singil Middle School formed a team through individual applications on the primary day of coaching and received the Mokjeong Future Foundation CEO Award.
The ‘Grandbot’ team from Deokwon Middle School, Deungmyeong Middle School, and Incheon Ara Middle School received the XYZ CEO Award.
Kim Website positioning-yeon and Yu Tae-won from Wolgye Middle School and Website positioning Yeon-woo from Sangmyung Middle School, who participated within the competition, said, “We learned quite a bit within the means of comprehensively learning the fundamentals of Python and applying them to the team’s ideas.” They added, “Within the means of making a map for implementing an autonomous driving environment, we needed to create a brand new map several times as a consequence of sensor recognition issues and team members’ negligence in managing their work, but we were in a position to solve the issues well by communicating and cooperating with our team members.”
Jeong Jun-yeong, a teacher at Wolgye Middle School, said, “Through this project, students had the chance to learn communication skills and a spirit of cooperation, and so they were also in a position to develop problem-solving skills through trial and error.” He added, “It’s difficult to perform projects in middle schools as a consequence of budgetary issues, but I’m grateful that this ‘Gwangwoon AI Autonomous Driving Competition’ provided students with the chance to really apply what they learned.”
