Starting in 2019, 17 hours of coding education will be mandatory for 5th and 6th graders in elementary school. As education policies change, interest in software education such as coding and robots is increasing in Korea.
EQstem has developed STEMQ-based robotics, coding convergence, and maker education programs that combine science, engineering, technology, and mathematics. It is designed to increase analytical cognitive skills, creativity, and problem-solving skills through subject-specific project classes and provided to curricula suitable for learners from elementary to high school students.
Robotics education provides natural exposure to mathematics, engineering, and coding in the process of performing tasks and developing programming with VEX robot educational tool, and providing coding convergence education through animations. Maker education uses a digital learning tool under the theme of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
JEI Learning launched Scottie Go, a coding educational tool developed by Polish IT company BeCREO, in the domestic market. Scottie Go allows preschoolers and 1st-3rd graders who are new to coding to program with coding tiles. They can learn the concept of the coding by performing 91 missions in 10 steps with 179 coding tiles.
Sigon Media introduced a coding robot, True True. Preschool and elementary school's curriculum is included step by step to provide coding education from unplugged coding to convergent content. Kids can do various activities such as controlling the robot themselves.
Blue Communication introduced AsomeBot, a software coding educational tool where you can learn coding with your child. It comes with a development tool, AsomeCode, so you can use it right away without complicated settings by running software for Android. A block coding engine was added that allows you to easily start coding without knowing the commands, and if you want, you can check the actual code directly with Python and modify it. A bipedal walking robot provided together to add friendliness and you can develop or control its movements as you want through the AsomeBoard.
In addition, Yoons English School signed a business agreement with Coding&Play, a coding education company, in December last year to foster global software talent. As a result, coding education can be learned at Yoons English School's specialized academy, IGSE Academy.
Kim Jung-ah, CEO of EQstem, advised, "Although interest in coding education is increasing, the key is to increase the creativity, problem-solving skills, and thinking skills required to 21st-century's talents through coding rather than simply learning coding languages."
