Nexon Foundation announced on the 26th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Daejeon Education Information Center under the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education and the Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education for the 'High-Five Challenge.'
Sponsored by Nexon Foundation and developed by the Computing Teachers Association, the 'High-Five Challenge' is a program that provides quality coding education to socially and geographically marginalized students in elementary, middle, and special schools nationwide.
Starting in March, Nexon Foundation plans to support teaching materials and other resources for 800 classes in elementary schools in the Daejeon and Gyeongnam regions, targeting a total of 20,000 elementary school students.
Through this memorandum of understanding, Nexon Foundation will operate projects in collaboration with a total of seven regional education offices, including those in Jeollanam-do, Jeju, Incheon, Gangwon, and Jeollabuk-do.
Nexon Foundation received recognition for its contribution to bridging the digital education gap through the 'High-Five Challenge' and was awarded a commendation from the Deputy Prime Minister and the Ministry of Education at the 13th Korea Education Donation Awards last year.
Kim Jeong-wook, chairman of Nexon Foundation, said, "We will continue to expand opportunities for coding education by collaborating with various educational institutions."
