Hanyang Cyber University is actively engaging in community service to enhance AI capabilities beyond its campus. Students from the newly established AI Applied Software Engineering Department have rolled up their sleeves to help local seniors bridge the gap in AI utilization.
On July 3, Hanyang Cyber University’s AX Project Group, led by Min Yeon-ah, announced the successful completion of an AI training program for seniors in Seongdong-gu.
The initiative aimed to assist seniors who struggle with using digital devices in their daily lives, making AI technology more accessible and user-friendly.
Notably, the student council of the AI Applied Software Engineering Department, which was newly established in the 2026 academic year, played a key role in planning and executing the program. The AX Project Group provided strong support based on its experience in offering practical training, including an 'AI-based lecture preparation service' for faculty.
The training sessions took place on June 15, 22, and 29, with students serving as instructors and assistants, providing hands-on practice tailored to the seniors' needs.
The curriculum was designed to be immediately applicable to the seniors' daily lives. The first session covered 'AI Content Creation and Utilization,' where participants created videos and music. The second session focused on 'Prompt Writing and Utilization' to effectively use generative AI tools like ChatGPT. The final session emphasized data analysis using Excel and practical applications of AI, enhancing the seniors' foundational skills.
Choi Chang-rae, the student council president, expressed, "The rapidly spreading AI technology can pose barriers for those unfamiliar with the digital environment. It was a meaningful experience to share the skills I gained in my major with the seniors and help them understand AI in an easy and friendly way."
Student Kwon Min-gu also noted, "Seeing the seniors excitedly engage with AI tools made me appreciate the true meaning of educational service," expressing a commitment to ongoing community support.
Min Yeon-ah, the project leader, stated, "This activity was a convergence of Hanyang Cyber University's capabilities as a smart remote university based on AI and the spirit of 'love and service' of the Hanyang Foundation. We will continue to engage in educational sharing activities that foster growth alongside marginalized communities based on our department's expertise."
