"Proving Technological Excellence on the Global Stage—Leading the Global EdTech Market"
ALUX Wins 'CES 2024 Innovation Award'
Expands Global Reach with Standalone Coding Education Robot ‘VINU’
ALUX Secures Tangible Global Success with Standalone Coding Education Robot ‘VINU’
EdTech robotics company ALUX (Co-CEOs Jiheon Lee and Dain Lee) announced on the 27th that it has won a CES 2024 Innovation Award in the Robotics category for its standalone coding education robot, VINU, ahead of the world’s largest IT trade show CES 2024, to be held in Las Vegas in January.
The CES Innovation Awards are presented by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the organizer of CES, after a rigorous evaluation of the most groundbreaking technologies and products with global impact. Awarded products are considered representative of cutting-edge advancements for that year.
ALUX's VINU—the first standalone coding education robot developed in Korea—was recognized for its global scalability and technological innovation in lowering the barrier to entry in coding education. VINU is the only product in Korea equipped with an integrated LCD screen and touch interface, enabling block coding without the need for a computer, smartphone, or external software, thus opening a new ecosystem for coding education. Its ability to operate without internet access also significantly improves coding accessibility for digitally marginalized communities, earning praise for its broad social impact, a key evaluation metric for global tech innovation.
VINU was especially noted as a creative-convergence educational device, integrating subjects such as math, music, art, and science, designed with young learners' cognitive development in mind. Its versatile adaptability across languages, regions, and digital infrastructure levels presents a new global model for foundational coding education.
Beyond CES, VINU also garnered international acclaim by being named a finalist in the ‘Bett Awards’ at Europe’s premier EdTech exhibition, BETT Show 2024. This marks ALUX’s third consecutive year participating in the BETT Show, and VINU reached the finals in the Hardware AV, VR/AR, Robotics or Digital Devices category—underscoring the company’s growing international recognition for product scalability and innovation.
CEO Dain Lee stated, “We’re proud to see VINU's innovation and market potential recognized on the world’s largest stages, reaffirming ALUX’s corporate value and vision. We will continue to enhance our technological capabilities in developing educational products like robots and drones and strive to expand the overall coding education ecosystem through differentiated devices.”
ALUX added, “We see this year as a launching point to become a truly global company. We are accelerating our overseas expansion strategy with the goal of becoming a meaningful player in the global EdTech industry, actively building business lines across countries and increasing export volume, not only in Asia—such as China, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia—but also in Europe and the Americas.”
