CJ OliveNetworks teaches elementary students self-driving car coding

CJ OliveNetworks, a subsidiary of the CJ Group, has launched a coding camp for elementary school students in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, to educate them about artificial intelligence (AI) and self-driving cars, the company announced on Tuesday. This program, titled the AX Creative Camp, is part of the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education's "Exciting Sharing School" initiative.

"AX" stands for "AI transformation," which refers to the integration of AI across various business functions. This marks the second year that CJ OliveNetworks has organized this camp, where its employees leverage their AI skills to instruct coding classes as part of the company's corporate social responsibility efforts.

The education office's program serves as an after-school learning platform, established in collaboration with local community groups, to help students explore their interests and learn independently. Last year, around 130,000 students participated in approximately 7,200 programs, encompassing a range of subjects including arts, sports, and AI.

This year's camp is exclusively available to elementary students within the area serviced by the Bucheon office of education. The curriculum progresses systematically from the fundamental concepts of self-driving cars to more advanced topics.
