Lego Korea Creates Hand Sanitizer Robots with Alternative School Students

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] Lego Korea announced on the 11th that it has successfully completed the "Lego Hand Sanitizer Robot Inventor Project" conducted in collaboration with the alternative school "Seongjang School Byeol."

The project was planned as part of the Lego Group's global campaign "Rebuild The World" to provide children experiencing emotional difficulties with opportunities to express creativity and feel a sense of accomplishment. Students of Seongjang School Byeol directly created automatic hand sanitizer robots using Lego Mindstorms, and the completed works were placed in official Lego stores nationwide for actual use.

The Lego hand sanitizer robot is a Lego robot that, through coding, automatically responds with a distance sensor and motor when a hand is brought close, pressing the top of the sanitizer container to enable sanitizer use without physical contact.

Lego Korea recently placed the completed Lego hand sanitizer robots in a total of 11 official Lego stores located nationwide. The Lego hand sanitizer robot operates in a way that children can use it easily and enjoyably, naturally encouraging the use of hand sanitizer so that customers can use the stores more safely.

A meaningful video documenting the process of the "Lego Hand Sanitizer Robot Inventor" class was also produced and released through the company's official SNS channels.

Meanwhile, Seongjang School Byeol, located in Bongcheon-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, is an integrated alternative middle and high school that educates adolescents with emotional difficulties based on the Freinet philosophy grounded in democracy and cooperation.
