As interest in coding education increases, demand for related educational tools and educational contents is also increasing rapidly. In particular, with the announcement of mandatory coding education in elementary schools, content related to elementary school SW coding education is attracting great attention. Meanwhile, Blue Communication Co., Ltd. officially launched AsomeIT, a brand specializing in software coding education, and launched AsomeKit, AsomeBot, and AsomeCar, which are software coding teaching products through physical computing.
As AsomeIT is a professional brand that provides and operates educational programs for schools, libraries, and public institutions by developing software coding teaching aids and curriculums in line with the mandatory software coding education, this launch and prototype are drawing attention. Most of the existing SW coding education programs are relatively easy to understand the concept of development, however the main focus is on block coding education, which has limitations in actual service development, or programmer-level coding education, which is highly usable but too difficult for students to understand.
AsomeIT's SW coding education is evaluated to have improved both understanding and utilization as it is designed to understand the structure and algorithm of the program through self-developed block coding and to learn Python code which is the most used code by programmers around the world.
In addition, it is drawing more attention as it is based on physical computing education that allows students to run actual devices with programs created through SW coding. AsomeIT's AsomeKit, AsomeBot, and AsomeCar are all software coding educational tools using physical computing.
Among them, AsomeKit is designed to understand the concept and principles of the Internet of Things by learning how to operate various sensors and parts and connecting to the Internet. AsomeBot and AsomeCar are SW coding educational tools in the form of robots and cars.
In particular, all of Awesome IT's curriculum is conducted through AsomeCode, a dedicated educational program, and coding learning can be performed just by clicking without having to enter commands directly into the computer, which is known to be effective in understanding the principles of coding and developing logical thinking. Accordingly, the advantage is that anyone can easily start coding learning regardless of the practice environment or specifications of the device. The convenience of use is also great because the program is automatically upgraded to the latest version.
An AsomeIT official said, "The existing coding education programs are forcibly adapted to teaching materials and programming tools made overseas, so it had some limitations in practicality." and "It not only provides the most effective and easy-to-understand structure by self-producing all educational curriculum and textbooks, but it is highly useful because kids learn based on Python.”
Meanwhile, Blue Communication that operates AsomeIT was selected as a 'Hi Seoul Brand Company', co-brand of small and medium-sized companies in Seoul given to outstanding companies by City of Seoul and Seoul Business Agency.
AsomeIT's educational program has been confirmed to be introduced at various educational institutions such as Jungam Middle School, Yeomkyung Middle School, Gyeongil Middle School, Sillim High School, Eunpyeong Culture and Arts high School, Lee Jin-ah Library, and Seongnam City Jungwon Children's Library and AsomeIT has signed an export and cooperation contract with the company 'CBE' and is accelerating the development of the Indonesian market.
AsomeIT also participated in the K-CON 2018 LA, a popular Korean Wave festival held at the LA Convention in the U.S. on August 10, attracting buyers from all over the world and knocking on the door of the U.S. and global markets. Detailed educational contents and program inquiries of Awesome IT, which is opening a new horizon for elementary and secondary SW coding education, can be found on the official website or Facebook page.
