This contest is a system in which young people, including elementary, middle school, and high school students, can directly utilize AI and robot technology to carry out problem-solving projects. We focus on providing experiences that go beyond basic coding education and encourage creative solutions to real-world problems.
The contest will continue to accept applications and hold preliminary rounds until September, with finalists participating in the final competition in November. The award ceremony is scheduled to be held in December, and the total prize money will be 40 million won.
In particular, this year’s final will be held at Hyundai AutoEver’s InnoX Studio, a space for creativity and innovation. Participants are expected to experience how future mobility and AI technologies will be used in actual industrial settings.
On this day, the Korea Science and Creativity Foundation and Hyundai AutoEver also signed a business agreement with the aim of promoting the spread of AI and robot education culture among young people and developing future digital talent. The two organizations plan to work together to give young people first-hand experience with cutting-edge technologies such as AI and robotics, and to implement projects focused on problem-solving.
