[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Chosun University SW-Centered University Project Group, the first software-centered university in Honam, has started the '2021 Jeonnam Region Middle School AI·SW Education Program' at Naju Seji Middle School.

According to Chosun University on the 31st, the SW-Centered University Project Group signed a 'Business Agreement for AI·SW Education' with Naju Seji Middle School on the 19th of last month.

Since last year, both institutions have been operating AI·SW education programs to establish a mutual cooperation system and enhance future core competencies, leading the spread of AI·SW values among students and local residents.

This after-school AI·SW education program is a curriculum conducted under the theme of 'Soft and Fun AI·SW Education' for Seji Middle School students from grades 1 to 3, led by Professor Cho Young-joo along with Professor Lee Kwang-ok and Researcher Seo Hee-cheol from the SW-Centered University Project Group.

The program period is from the 29th of last month to December 6th.

The class content is composed of experiences with technologies related to the 4th Industrial Revolution era, such as AI, Python, Big Data analysis, and Chatbot.

Professor Cho Young-joo said, "While experiencing COVID-19 last year, the reality of living in the AI era alongside artificial intelligence robots in our daily lives has come faster," adding, "We will sincerely carry out the program to provide balanced opportunities so that students in the Jeonnam area are not left behind in the AI·SW education trend and to discover and further develop students' talents early."

A student who participated in the AI·SW education program said, "I thought artificial intelligence, AI, was very difficult, but through last year's classes, I realized it is fun and useful knowledge," and added, "I will study coding and artificial intelligence harder to become a person who has a positive influence on the world."

Won-il Sunim, chairman of Seji Middle School, said, "I am grateful to the Chosun University SW-Centered University Project Group and Professor Cho Young-joo for conducting customized AI·SW education tailored to each student's abilities and talents, and I hope that this education will establish itself as a virtuous cycle system by continuously conducting AI·SW education programs with the SW-Centered University Project Group in the future."
