'SFPC' is an event hosted by the Korea Information Teachers Association and the Chungcheongnam-do Office of Education, which was started to provide an opportunity for general high school students to challenge problem solving only with the programming-related knowledge they learned in class. A total of 1,600 people, mainly general high school students, participated in the third competition held at Chonbuk National University last year.
The Korea Information Teachers Association has selected a new venue every year to close the gap in information education by city and province, and is taking the lead in sharing teacher competencies between regions by planning and operating events jointly with teachers in the host region.
The Nexon Foundation announced that it is making efforts to expand the base of coding education by hosting the 「Nexon Youth Programming Challenge」 and developing a free coding learning platform"BIKO" and has been steadily sponsoring 'SFPC" since 2022 to raise youth interest in coding and enhance their capabilities.
This year's 'SFPC' contest, which was held from the 6th to the 17th, also held a 'study challenge' event in connection with 'BIKO'. Nexon supported information teachers who teamed up with participating students to learn the previous questions of the competition on the 'BIKO's 'Together' channel.
