Visiting education is provided by receiving applications from schools and institutions wishing to host visits, and instructors offer customized education such as robot coding, basics of the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence according to students’ demand.

Center education takes place at the Suwon and Uijeongbu centers, where training on drones, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving is conducted within the centers. After the education, time is also allocated for experiencing new technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence.

Lee Hee-jun, Director of Planning and Coordination at Gyeonggi Province, said, "The Software Future Filling project is expected to play a significant role in resolving the imbalance in software education within the province and nurturing future talents," adding, "We will do our best to support education so that more students can experience software in the future."
