LOS ANGELES, CA, November 29, 2020 /Neptune100/ — COVID-19 has brought various changes in the society and economy. Among them, the field of education experienced the acceleration of non-face-to-face education contents development and enormous changes in the digital education environment. Here, the intelligent customized learning, AR-VR-based contents and digital education platform have become one of the key elements leading future education. For i-Scream Media, Korea’s first digital education contents company that has made continuous effort to create new education culture, this change was what it was waiting for.

Jeong Eui-seok, the manager in charge of TRUETRUE of the software education team, said, “Previously, coding robots were released in the form specialized in either unplugged activity without a computer or EPL (Educational Programming Language) activity connected to the computer, and the price was high. The price to pay to prepare lessons was high, and the functions of different robots had to be learned, so the teachers felt burdened to prepare for class.”
TRUETRUE is a robot solution developed in 2018 under the concept of “All-in-One Coding Robot” to solve this problem. Designed in consideration of size, weight, design, and function, TRUETRUE is considered as a character by children thanks to its cute design, so it raises concentration level. It contains a variety of activities such as cards, apps, and block coding, making it easy for children to code easily and with fun whether it is unplugged or used with smart devices. Also, in terms of being able to handle a variety of curricula, schools can save the budget for education.
