Pearl Abyss and the Danyang Office of Education held the Ding-ga-ding project Chungcheong regional preliminaries at the Maepo Elementary School gymnasium on July 3.

The Ding-ga-ding project is a corporate social responsibility initiative by Pearl Abyss, designed under the slogan 'Coding the possibilities of coding' to help the next generation cultivate creative thinking and collaborative skills.

It offers students in regions with limited access to coding education a chance to experience the entire spectrum of game development. Since its inception in 2022, approximately 1,700 participants have joined the competition across 16 different regions.

Around 100 students from local primary schools, including Gapyeong, Danyang, Maepo, Sangjin, and Yeongchun Elementary Schools, took part in the Chungcheong preliminaries. The Danyang Office of Education plans to continue running experience-based programmes in collaboration with local communities and professional institutions to foster student-tailored career education and digital-based future learning.

Pearl Abyss intends to select the top-performing teams from the regional preliminaries and grant them the opportunity to compete in the final hackathon, which will be held at the Pearl Abyss Home One this coming November.
