CJ OliveNetworks teaches elementary students self-driving car coding

CJ OliveNetworks, a part of the CJ Group, has initiated a coding camp for elementary school students in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, to educate them on artificial intelligence (AI) and self-driving cars. This AX Creative Camp is a component of the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education's Sinnaneun Gongyu Hakgyo, or "Exciting Sharing School," initiative.

AX signifies "AI transformation," which involves leveraging AI in various business processes. This is the second consecutive year CJ OliveNetworks has organized this camp, with employees leveraging their AI knowledge to instruct coding classes as part of the company's corporate social responsibility efforts.

The education office's program functions as an after-school learning platform, developed in collaboration with local community groups, to assist students in identifying their interests and learning independently. Last year, approximately 130,000 students participated in around 7,200 programs, encompassing various fields such as arts, sports, and AI.

This year's camp is exclusively available to elementary students within the jurisdiction of the Bucheon office of education. The curriculum progresses systematically, starting from the fundamental principles of AI and progressing to more complex topics.
