Alice Group (CEO Kim Jae-won), specializing in education, announced on the twentieth that it might hold the ‘AI Edu Hackathon’ to find recent educational ideas and skills centered on generative artificial intelligence (AI).

The theme of this hackathon, which is being held for the primary time because the founding of Ellis Group, is ‘development of educational products based on generative AI’. The Ellis Group released a GPT-based learning assistant chatbot called ‘AI Helpy’ earlier this yr and received favorable reviews, and explained that it plans to find talents who will lead the digital transformation through hackathons.

Anyone can participate, including college students, graduate students, and office staff, and you’ll be able to select the job you would like amongst engineers, PMs, and product designers. Until July 31, we accept applications for participation on the ‘Ellis AI Edu Hackathon’ website.

Within the preliminary round, which will likely be held online from August 1st to eleventh, a coding test developed by the Ellis Group based on the DX training experience of a big domestic company will likely be presented. Not only are you able to experience the questions used for hiring developers, but unlike the prevailing hackathon, a commentary session will likely be prepared for all participants within the preliminary round.

The finals will likely be held on the Ellis Lab office in Seongsu, Seoul on August 26-27. Mentoring by incumbent IT corporations will likely be provided to finalists.

A complete of 18 million won in prize money will likely be awarded to 3 teams with excellent grades, including the ultimate winners. Particularly, special advantages related to employment are provided to those with excellent grades.

Kim Jae-won, CEO of Ellis Group, said, “In a rapidly changing educational environment, reminiscent of the sudden introduction of generative AI textbooks into elementary and middle school classes, Ellis wants to steer future education through its own technology research and development and talent discovery.” We hope that talented people will develop recent ideas, receive mentoring from incumbent experts including Ellis, and grow into talented individuals who will lead the innovation of generative AI education.”
