FLOW STUDIO (CEO Aayon Jeong) participated in the ‘Global Media Online Meetup’ event on September 4, collaborating with the U.S. tech media outlet GEEKSPIN. The event, co-hosted by AVING News and GEEKSPIN, aims to showcase Korean startups’ products and technologies to the global market. It also provides early media exposure for startups applying for the CES 2025 Innovation Awards, expanding their business opportunities.
Located at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), FLOW STUDIO is a science education technology company that aims to foster excellence in gifted science education by offering learning experiences closely linked to real-life applications. One of their flagship products, ’Grafting,’ is the science inquiry program that helps students compare experiments with hypotheses and develop creative thinking skills.
FLOW STUDIO’s flagship device, Flow Lab, is a personalized science experiment kit with an automated robotic arm, an AI assistant, and various digital sensors. Users can remotely control it from anywhere in the world. The company emphasizes that Flow Lab enables users to collect personalized experimental data safely and efficiently—achieving what traditionally required exposure to various risks in just one week.
The collected data allows students to gain practical knowledge and engage in international collaborative research with peers worldwide, leading to knowledge that sometimes results in startups or patents.
A FLOW STUDIO representative stated, “By interacting with AI, young scientists only need to share their interests. The AI assists in planning experiments, conducting prior research, analyzing results, and deriving meaningful insights, solving the challenges of data analysis faced in the past.”
The representative added, “This setup enables young scientists to share and discuss their experimental data with global peers, fostering international collaborative research among youth, especially in environmental fields, achieving unprecedented levels of youth-led research.”
FLOW STUDIO has gained recognition for its achievements in the science education technology sector worldwide. In Korea, they have developed various science education programs and equipment like Flow Lab, receiving positive feedback in educational settings. By renting Flow Labs customized for individual gifted students, they provide tailored learning experiences for young scientists.
Earlier this year, FLOW STUDIO gained global attention when it was recognized as Best of Innovation with Grafting, at the CES Innovation Awards 2024 in Las Vegas, USA. This accolade highlighted the company’s technological capabilities and educational innovation, solidifying its presence in the global market.
FLOW STUDIO also announced its participation in CES 2025. The representative stated, “Personalized gifted education, particularly in science experiments, is crucial for nurturing scientific talent. While the technology exists to provide this education, no one has integrated all these elements into a cohesive offering for gifted students. We plan to demonstrate at CES how Korean gifted students use Flow Lab—a personalized lab integrating AI, robotics, and digital sensors—to conduct remote experiments. We aim for our innovative approach to gifted education to spread worldwide.”
The company hopes to collaborate with excellence-focused science education institutions in the U.S., such as the Smithsonian Institution. FLOW STUDIO has partnered with various Canadian research institutions and connects Canadian and Korean gifted students. They now plan to expand exchanges with young scientists in the U.S.
FLOW STUDIO intends to set up additional labs in Korea that youth can access worldwide. “If given the opportunity, we will establish labs across the U.S. as well,” the representative explained. “By doing so, we aim to provide diverse youth with opportunities for experimentation, supporting their scientific inquiry and growth.”
