[Las Vegas (USA) = AVING News] Robogram Co., Ltd (CEO Im Sang-hee) will hold a four-day event in Las Vegas, USA from January 2023 (Thursday) to January 1 (Sunday, local time), 5. I participated in the Eureka Park K-STARTUP Integrated Hall, the startup zone of ‘CES 8’.
Robogram is an edutech company that develops fun and efficient educational content. Robogram’s educational contents keep in mind ‘who’, ‘how’, and ‘to what extent’ they will satisfy. We focus on successful algorithm education for the 20% of students who find coding difficult, rather than the top 80% of students who excel. An overseas corporation was established in Singapore in November 2022.
At this CES, we will introduce block coding software that allows anyone to easily develop 3D games even without programming knowledge. Coding results can be shared with people around the world, and it is possible to generate profits, which attracts attention in that it clearly provides motivation for coding education. The LMS lecture service for coding education is provided to users for free, enabling self-directed learning, and cyber money that can be used within the platform is paid to users on a regular basis to motivate coding education.

The purpose of coding education is to develop the ability to solve problems using computers. A Robogram official said, “In order for a computer to work, the order of work must be determined, and the effectiveness of the work is determined by the flow chart. The algorithm determines the most effective flowchart, and coding aims to improve algorithmic capabilities. “To achieve this, we need to create various programs in computer languages, but it is difficult for beginners to code text, so we create results using block coding that is easy to learn,” he explained.
However, the initial purchase cost of hardware control-oriented block coding is burdensome, and the most widely distributed Scratch is a 2D-oriented result, which is less interesting and the duration of the content is short. Accordingly, Robogram developed ‘JEM S’, which allows anyone to easily create 3D games and a metaverse world using the Roblox engine, which has the largest number of users worldwide.
JEM S allows more than 20 lines of Lua text code to express the same effect with a single block code, and is block-coded so that even beginners can easily learn it, so you can have fun learning the algorithm for a long time while creating a sandbox 3D game. The company explains that it is possible. The results created by paying a low SW usage fee can be shared with more than 1 million users around the world through the Roblox Store.
As of December 2022, JEM S has been distributed to 12 schools nationwide, and the cumulative number of users has exceeded 300. Starting with the Asian market in 3, we plan to expand to the North American market in 2022 and the European market in 2023.
Meanwhile, ‘CES’, the world’s largest IT exhibition, is an exhibition where you can understand the trends of the global home appliance industry at a glance. Hosted by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), it is held every January in Las Vegas, USA. AVING News, which has covered CES for 1 consecutive years, has reported CES news around the world every year since 17, and has been selected as the ‘BEST OF CES’, which selects the best innovative products and technologies, and the ‘BEST OF’, which selects domestic innovative companies. ‘MADE IN KOREA’ was held. In addition, CES on-site issues were vividly conveyed through ‘AVING LIVE’.
The K-STARTUP Integrated Pavilion is jointly participated by the Korea Start-up Agency, Seoul Business Agency, and Seoul Digital Foundation, and 51 domestic innovative companies participated to enter the U.S. market and discover global partners. In addition, CES 2023 college student supporters selected from each university (Kyunghee University, Kookmin University, Sogang University, and Chung-Ang University) were matched considering majors and industrial fields of participating companies.
