In addition, the course also helps QNU’s female students to be more confident when working in groups, giving presentations through lively and attractive lessons with practical activities under the guidance of Prof. Sehjae Chun and Prof. Changkyu Yoon (Sookmyung Women's University). After finishing the course, 04 best students will have the opportunity to come to Seoul (South Korea) to attend the Advanced Hackathon held in late 2023.
