People call the IT hobby group members of the Hamhung Schoolchildren’s Hall in South Hamgyong Province “juvenile inventors”.

“There are so many national patents and software copyrights, certificates of registration of programs, hits and technical findings awarded to our teen-age group members,” said instructor Han Se Uk.

He is well known across the country for having trained many competent programmers. Dozens of senior middle school students who are now under his charge won national invention certificates (practical technology), medals of the national inventions exhibition, software copyrights and certificates of original plans and registration of scientific hits.

Especially, Paek Thae Ryong, second-year primary schoolboy, won a gold medal at the 16th national inventions exhibition last year and later received a certificate of invention by developing an algorithm study support program.

A development team was organized with seven students among the group to introduce programs into production sites.

“At first, I doubted whether they, nonprofessionals, could perform a great job. But I was greatly astonished to see the optical fibre cable management program they created to suit our specific conditions. Their program is very effective”, said Kim Yong Thae, chief engineer of the South Hamgyong Provincial Posts and Telecommunications Management Bureau.

The team developed financial, medicine management and ability assessing programs for different units to suit their specific conditions.

Hamhung University of Chemical Industry and other universities and middle schools in the province assess the abilities of students more scientifically by introducing the programs and these programs are also used at national contests to decide rankings.

The developers also completed the financial management program, which is believed to be complicated and impossible for nonprofessionals to design, to meet the specific conditions of each unit and accommodate the convenience of users.

With orders growing in the province and other parts of the country, many stories are told about the group members among locals.
