CJ OliveNetworks has launched a technology education volunteer program, "Creating AI-Powered Voice Animations," aimed at improving digital literacy and expanding access to AI education for local youth.

Partnering with the Hyochang Community Welfare Center in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, the program provided hands-on generative AI training for elementary school students.

The program was designed for elementary school students with limited opportunities to engage with emerging digital technologies and AI-based learning experiences. The program encouraged students to move beyond passive technology use and actively participate in digital content creation, helping build foundational AI literacy skills, building their foundational AI literacy by directly engaging with advanced artificial intelligence tools.

During the workshop, CJ OliveNetworks employees paired up one-on-one with the students as tech mentors to co-create personalized "AI animation cards."

The interactive curriculum included:

• Voice Synthesis & Design: Students recorded their own self-introduction scripts and used generative AI design platforms to animate characters that automatically synced with their real voices, mapping out natural mouth movements and gestures.
• Hardware Integration (NFC): After publishing their creations to YouTube, students embedded their animations into Near Field Communication (NFC) cards, creating a tangible, "one-of-a-kind digital business card." Tapping a smartphone against the card instantly brings their custom AI avatar to life on screen.

By reframing complex algorithmic tech into an engaging, playful format, the program successfully nurtured the students' AI literacy, boosting their confidence and capability in future tech environments as they proudly shared their creations with peers.

Looking ahead, CJ OliveNetworks plans to scale its educational outreach to digitally underserved communities. In the second half of the year, the company will introduce advanced modules combining AI tools with 3D pens, alongside community-centric projects like designing AI-powered local mascots, theme songs, and merchandise to continuously reinforce regional AI literacy.

"This initiative offered a meaningful launchpad for local students to discover their potential as creators in the rapidly evolving AI era," said a representative for CJ OliveNetworks. "Moving forward, we remain dedicated to utilizing our corporate tech expertise to bridge the digital divide and equip the next generation with essential AI capabilities."
