Bongrae Elementary School in Goheung, Jeollanam-do (Principal Jo Jae-sang) held a ‘Small School Visiting SW/AI Coding Class’ at the varsity library for 4th and fifth grade elementary school students from Monday, September twenty third to Wednesday, September twenty fifth. operated.
This training was conducted on daily basis from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and instructors Kim Soo-young and Yoo Kyung-hee developed students’ creative considering skills and problem-solving through various activities resembling entry bot coding, robot soccer, and maze finding using a hamster robot for 12 sessions. We put aside time to develop our abilities.
Subsequently, the identical program was held for sixth grade students from Monday, October seventh to Thursday, October tenth, and instructors Search engine optimization Jae-geun and Ahn Sang-hee provided practice-oriented SW and AI coding education to students.
Students had the chance to strengthen their future capabilities by directly experiencing software and artificial intelligence technology.
Instructor Search engine optimization Jae-geun said, “I used to be very surprised by our friends’ coding skills,” and “When talking to the youngsters, I believed, ‘They have not had much exposure to SW,’ but I felt that the fundamentals were excellent, and most of all, I used to be very impressed by the hard participation of my friends. “I liked it,” he said.
He continued, “Because our students had good concentration, the category proceeded energetic and the teacher’s sincerity in immediately responding to feedback made it a really enjoyable class.”

Within the sixth grade practice-oriented SW/AI coding education, instructor Ahn Sang-hee provided 1:1 individual support to students who had difficulty maintaining with their peers.
This program was hosted by the Jeonnam Information and Culture Industry Promotion Agency (Director In-yong Lee) and was prepared for college students in small schools in rural, mountainous and fishing villages with low access to SW and AI education as a part of the “SW Future Filling Project.”
