PANGYO, South Korea (December 22, 2023) - NCSOFT, a global premier developer and publisher, hosted a corporate philanthropy event titled ‘NC [CODE] PLAY,’ providing coding education workshops for elementary school students in Seongnam, Korea.
The ‘NC [CODE] PLAY’ is an NCSOFT’s social contribution coding education program, initiated in 2022 to support local youth. This year, NCSOFT broadened its outreach by collaborating with additional schools, hosting 45 students in Grades 5 and 6 from three schools in Seongnam City for a visit to the NCSOFT R&D Center.
During the visit, students engaged in a comprehensive experience, which included a guided tour of the office building, a coding activity involving the creation of a music box, and a ceremonial gift exchange. The Coding Music Box Making session was a one-on-one coding education activity conducted by NCSOFT employees paired with students. Students crafted a personalized music box using a coding kit with adjustable brightness, color, and song features.
In December last year, NCSOFT launched 'NC [WITH] PLAY,' a social contribution program driven by proactive participation from its staff members, aiming to catalyze a qualitative leap in society. Throughout this year, the company orchestrated diverse initiatives, including coding education for the next generations, blood donation drives, the creation and donation of braille storybooks, and tree planting activities at Changwon NC Park. Over 600 employees willingly participated in these altruistic endeavors.
Hyunjoo Kim, head of the ESG Management Division, said, “Throughout the year, NCSOFT actively engaged in diverse social contributions through NC [WITH] PLAY, demonstrating our commitment to sharing with future generations and local communities.” He added, “Our commitment extends to implementing a variety of initiatives aimed at making a qualitative leap in our society.”
