Flow Studio’s journey began with success in the 2021 Living Invention Korea Idea Contest, where their ‘Flow Lab’ experimental apparatus and ‘Grafting’ idea garnered acclaim. The company swiftly evolved, transitioning from a sole proprietorship to a certified venture corporation in 2022. This transition paved the way for the launch of ‘Flow Science Lab,’ a venture targeting both domestic and international science museums and intelligent science laboratories.
Central to Flow Studio’s offerings is the ‘Grafting’ web service, designed to simplify scientific experiments for students. Covering project management, experimental design, result analysis, and scientific report writing, ‘Grafting’ has become a valuable tool in the education sector. Integrated with ‘Flow Science Lab,’ the service employs an eco-friendly PLA filament production method and open-source coding, earning multiple awards and undergoing the process of filing international patents.
Jeong Aayon, CEO of Flow Studio, envisions ‘Grafting’ as a global catalyst for disseminating and sharing scientific experiment results among students.
