Hyundai AutoEver said on the 9th that it carried out corporate social responsibility activities to foster "tech dreamers." As part of that, Hyundai AutoEver ran the "barrier-free app development contest," which supports the software (SW) capabilities of the next generation, and smart mobility training and camps.
Marking its ninth year, the barrier-free app development contest solicits ideas from university and graduate students to improve convenience for the socially vulnerable. Hyundai AutoEver provides mentoring, app development training, and financial support so the selected ideas can lead to actual app development. A total of 151 teams applied to this year's contest, and eight ideas to be finalized in Feb. next year will be implemented as apps.
Hyundai AutoEver also ran, for the seventh consecutive year, the "white-hat hacker training program," which offers high school students aspiring to be information security experts the opportunity to take part in a white-hat hacker competition. This year, it selected 50 students from specialized vocational high schools and provided security-related education.
Kim Yun-goo of Hyundai AutoEver said, "We will continue to carry out a variety of corporate social responsibility activities to nurture future SW talent."
