Webzen invited 38 executives and employees' children to Bundang Yatap Youth Training Center to provide free coding education. Let's play coding!' is a coding education program that is implemented once or twice a year for the children of executives and employees under elementary school students since 2018. Webzen has expanded the education program of the "Youth Coding Workshop" to employees to address educational inequality and has become one of the in-house welfare programs.
In this coding training, the children of executives and employees were organized into three groups by age and each program was prepared. First of all, for preschoolers, an unplugged coding class was conducted to draw pictures and figures according to coding commands using 'robot mouse'. It is an education that finds sequential logic in everyday life by practicing sequential coding that escapes obstacles and arrives at the destination in the form of a checkerboard map.
In the classroom of the lower grades of elementary school, they understood the concept of robot programming using a 'tuttlebot' teaching aid that moves in different directions depending on lines and colors, and experienced the process of creating codes themselves using color cards. In the elementary high school classroom, we had time to learn the concept of coding algorithms and coordinate directions using the coding education platform 'MakeCode Arcade' and make 'Jump Game' ourselves.
Each program was organized by instructors from Webzen's social contribution project 'Youth Coding Workshop' and educational experts from the Seongnam Youth Foundation to strengthen systematic guidance and expertise, Webzen said. Webzen said it will continue to operate educational programs for employee parenting and welfare based on the corporate welfare motto of 「Work-family balance」.
