The company operates Kyowon Edutech Classrooms at three schools nationwide.

The Kyowon Edutech Classroom is a social contribution program in which Kyowon Group, together with the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation, selects elementary schools in local communities to improve the quality of information technology (IT) education, providing free classroom construction and renovation, edutech education programs, and services. Kyowon Group offers selected schools its edutech education programs such as AiCANDO and Redpen Coding, along with customized educational services.

The company opened two additional Kyowon Edutech Classrooms and provided the Kyowon Redpen Coding program, as well as book collections and smart pads, free of charge. A Kyowon Group official stated, “We are continuously striving to reduce educational disparities between regions and expand edutech experiences,” adding, “We will actively utilize the educational content and infrastructure we possess to support more students in benefiting from edutech.”

Meanwhile, Kyowon Group first opened a Kyowon Edutech Classroom at Seonghwan Elementary School in Cheonan, Chungnam Province, in April last year. This year, Kyowon Group plans to promote a wide range of social contribution activities, including the establishment of edutech classrooms, after-school character theater, and support projects for young content creators.
