The artificial intelligence (AI)-based science inquiry education solution “AiR NOVA,” developed by Donga Science, has received the Innovation Award in the edutech category at “CES 2027,” the world’s largest information technology (IT) trade show. The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), which organizes CES, announced on the 9th (local time) that it had selected AiR NOVA as an Innovation Award honoree, stating that “this product has demonstrated outstanding innovation in design and engineering.”

AiR NOVA is the global version of “Science Donga AiR,” which Donga Science has launched in Korea. Science Donga AiR is an AI-based science inquiry solution that supports question generation, information search, and inquiry activities, based on 100,000 science articles accumulated since the launch of the magazine “Science Donga” in 1986.
AiR NOVA supports Korean, English, Vietnamese, and Spanish, enabling teenagers in multiple language regions to conduct science inquiry with the platform. Experience and teacher feedback gathered while operating “Science Donga AiR Edu,” the school service of Science Donga AiR used by 170 schools and more than 20,000 students nationwide, were also reflected in the development of AiR NOVA.

The key differentiator of AiR NOVA is that it provides answers based on evidence drawn from more than 100,000 articles reported and verified by specialized science journalists. It offers a “Tutor” function that responds to science questions with sources and supporting evidence, a “Socrates” function that prompts users to think for themselves by asking questions instead of giving direct answers, and a “Coach” function that guides users through missions linked to science articles. Jang Kyung-ae, CEO of Donga Science, said, “We will further advance AiR NOVA’s features by incorporating feedback from education sectors in different countries.”
