Context: a program running since 2023
AI Junior Lab has run since 2023 as a joint outreach program of Kakao Mobility and the Kids & Future Foundation. According to supporting coverage, the immediately preceding 6th cohort ran July 29 to August 1 at the Yongin Kakao AI Campus as a four-day, three-night camp with 50 middle school students nationwide. That 6th-cohort coverage is background evidence of continuity only and should not be merged with the 7th cohort's terms.
For families or schools looking for youth AI education, the next step is to check the official notice for eligibility and submission requirements before the November 22 deadline.
