88 Students Selected for SW, Robotics, and AI Programs After Overcoming 2.6:1 Competition
Leadership Lecture and Orientation Held
The Daejeon Education Information Institute held an entrance ceremony for gifted students in information technology on January 17 in its multipurpose auditorium.
More than 200 people, including newly admitted students who were selected through a highly competitive process and their parents, attended the "2026 Information Gifted Education Center Entrance Ceremony" that day.
The selection process for this year’s Information Gifted Education Center began with an announcement in October, followed by document screening and both special and general admissions, ultimately selecting the final successful candidates.
The entrance ceremony was held for 88 students in the SW, robotics, and AI programs who were selected after overcoming an average competition rate of 2.6 to 1 in both the special and general admissions. The event featured a leadership lecture and orientation, with Professor Park Hwanbo of Chungnam National University delivering a talk on "The Role of Digital Global Citizens in a Borderless World."
The admitted students will receive 82 hours of customized gifted education over the course of a year in five classes: beginner and advanced SW, beginner and advanced robotics, and AI. In addition, from January 20 to October 15, they will participate in intensive winter and summer training as well as Friday programs to further develop their expertise.
The Information Gifted Education Center at the Daejeon Education Information Institute plans to provide a systematic curriculum and actively support individualized learning so that students can grow into creative problem solvers in the digital field.
Lee Youngjoo, Director of the Daejeon Education Information Institute, stated, "I hope that the information-gifted students will diligently complete the comprehensive curriculum at the Gifted Education Center and fully demonstrate their talents and abilities," adding, "We will actively support them so they can grow into SW, robotics, and AI talents who contribute to the future society."
