Since starting in March 2019 with 331 middle school students, more than 4,200 students have participated so far. In December last year, it signed a business agreement with the National Institute of Special Education under the Ministry of Education to develop a barrier-free program for students with disabilities, which is currently being piloted for students in special schools and special classes in general schools.


Schools wishing to participate in the first semester of 2021 Tumoroad School must apply through the education donation website operated by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity by the end of this month.

More detailed information can be found on the education donation website.


This Tumoroad School will be conducted only online, excluding the existing integrated online and offline class method, due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. One semester is divided into the first and second half, with 8 sessions each. The class topics are mainly composed of ▲ automobile structure and driving principles ▲ future mobility concepts ▲ future mobility and virtual EV3 ▲ future mobility and future jobs ▲ future cities.



Rene Konebeag, Group CEO of Audi Volkswagen Korea, said, "Tumoroad School, which started targeting middle schools in the Seoul area in 2019, has now established itself as a representative educational program providing quality curricula to elementary and middle school students as well as students with disabilities nationwide," adding, "We will continue to expand opportunities for future talents to learn and grow joyfully."
