Naver Connect Foundation "Expanding Digital Education Opportunities... Recruiting Participants for Python Education"

Full Tuition Coverage for High School Students from Low-Income Families

Naver Connect Foundation announced on the 26th that it will expand digital education opportunities to bridge the software (SW) education gap.

Naver Connect Foundation is recruiting participants for the "Python Education for High School Students" program until the 8th of next month. The education program targets high school students from low-income families and is offered completely free of charge. The final selected students will build foundational knowledge of Python over 14 weeks starting from the 21st of next month.

Professor Kim Hyung-joo from the Department of Computer Science at Seoul National University will serve as the instructor. Learning tools such as laptops necessary for the students will also be provided to actively support a smooth learning environment.

Meanwhile, Naver Connect Foundation operates various programs to ensure that anyone can have access to learning opportunities in the SW field. These include the free software learning platform "Boost Course," the SW and Artificial Intelligence (AI) practical engineer training program "Boost Camp," and the software creation education platform "Entry." Additionally, since 2022, specialized programs such as "Doran Doran Junior School," which supports SW education for low-income young children, have been established to address the digital education gap.

Jo Kyu-chan, Chairman of Naver Connect Foundation, stated, "Although the importance of software and coding is increasingly emphasized, the digital education gap continues to deepen. Through this program and others, Naver Connect Foundation will continue to work diligently with a sense of mission to ensure that anyone can receive SW education without economic burden."
