With the inclusion of SW coding education in the regular middle school curriculum starting this year, there's been significant interest in SW coding education, to the point where the term 'KEMC' (Korean, English, Mathematics, and Coding) has been coined. The anticipation for SW coding education is expected to grow even hotter as it's scheduled to extend to elementary students in grades 5 to 6 starting next year.
However, in some circles, it's still debated whether public education has fully established a solid foundation for this or whether effective elementary SW education is challenging. As a result, there's an increasing emphasis on the need for educational programs that make coding learning easier.
The SW coding education program introduced by the specialized SW coding education brand 'AsomeIT' is developed with this issue in mind, aiming to engage students in a way that sparks their interest in SW coding learning. Particularly, the educational tools designed to heighten students' curiosity and achievement while enhancing learning effects are catching attention.
These tools include a set of three: ▲ AsomeKit, which helps understand the operation of various sensors and components, connecting them to the Internet to comprehend the concept and principles of the Internet of Things ▲ AsomeBot, a robot-shaped SW coding educational tool ▲ AsomeCar, an automobile-shaped SW coding educational tool. AsomeBot and AsomeCar allow students to assemble and control them using smartphones, thus naturally learning to code in the process.
These educational tools operate using a physical computing method where computer-coded programs are transmitted to devices to make them move. AsomeIT's entire educational curriculum is conducted through a dedicated program called AsomeCode.
AsomeCode is structured to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the components that constitute devices and block coding designed to enable students to understand the principles underlying program operations. It also leads to the systematic learning of actual program codes linked to each functional block. Furthermore, it incorporates quizzes and idea discussions to foster creativity development.
AsomeIT's educational program has been selected for the Product 101 Challenge, a program aimed at nurturing excellent companies organized by CJ and three institutions. Additionally, the program gained attention at KCON 2018 LA, the world's largest Hallyu festival, with a robot performance dancing to Hallyu music.
AsomeIT's educational program was introduced through the '2017 IoT Experience Education Program' held in 24 elementary and middle schools nationwide and the '1-night 2-day SW Coding Camp' hosted by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency. This year, it was selected as an experiential program centered on SW daily teacher lectures, which will visit 27 schools.
Furthermore, these tools have been adopted by various educational institutions, including Seoul Jungam Middle School, Yeomgyeong Middle School, Gyeongil Middle School, Sinrim High School, Eunpyeong Culture Arts Information Hi School, Lee Jin Ah Memorial Library, and Seongnam Jungwon Children's Library.
AsomeKit, AsomeBot, and AsomeCar were recognized as outstanding products with growth potential based on exceptional ideas and were selected for the '2018 Hi Seoul Outstanding Product Brand Award.’
An AsomeIT representative stated, "We have launched these educational tools to facilitate more effective and enjoyable SW coding education," and further added, "In July, we signed an export and cooperation agreement with CBE, an Indonesian online education platform service company, making strides in penetrating the Indonesian market."
For those who are interested, please find more detailed information about AsomeIT's SW coding education program on their website and Facebook page, where you can also inquire for further details.
On another note, the company operating the AsomeIT brand, 'Blue Communication,' was selected as a Hi Seoul Brand Company awarded by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Business Agency (SBA) (Posted on August 22, 2018).
