According to Yuanta Securities on July 27, this training camp is taking place at the Yuanta Securities Talent Development Center in Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi Province, targeting children of clients who are in grades 4 to 6 of elementary school. The camp is a two-day, one-night program and will be conducted in three separate rounds in total.

The camp's curriculum focuses on gamified content that merges finance and AI. It goes beyond simply delivering knowledge, offering activities such as learning financial and economic concepts through quizzes and board games, as well as experiencing investment and consumption using virtual currency. The program is designed to help children enjoy learning like playing and develop the ability to make economic decisions independently.

In particular, the program includes hands-on experiences such as an audience participation AI robot magic show, and creating personalized content using AI. These activities are designed to spark curiosity and imagination, allowing children to approach AI not just as a search tool, but as a means of enhancing their thinking skills while engaging in entertaining experiences.

Ho Young Park, Head of HR Innovation at Yuanta Securities, said, "This training camp was launched not merely as part of our customer service, but as a way to create social value by supporting the next generation’s capabilities in finance and AI." He added, "We will do our utmost to ensure the remaining rounds of the camp can proceed safely, and we plan to continue expanding diverse programs so that children can further improve their thinking skills through the use of AI."
