SILICON VALLEY, Calif., June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As screen time continues to rise in American households, Think Academy, one of the world's leading education innovators, has introduced the TalPad T100, a next-generation kids' tablet designed to improve academic performance, form better learning habits, and make studying fun and engaging—without compromising on quality. Whether your child is in kindergarten, elementary school, or part of a homeschool curriculum, TalPad offers a powerful, modern alternative to traditional after-school programs or expensive tutors.
With a built-in AI homework helper- The "Genius Tutor" system, TalPad acts as a 24/7 homework help companion. From solving tricky math problems to explaining writing prompts, the device provides real-time support for busy parents. It's like having a math tutor, math solver, and homework helper all in one child-friendly device.
What sets it apart from products of other well-known kids' brands is that TalPad is more versatile and intelligent. It not only includes fun educational content like the children's AI companion "Thinkie" or fun math games for kids, but also features the AI "Genius Tutor" system that can assist with various subjects. Additionally, TalPad comes with all the standard functions of an Android tablet, making it an affordable all-purpose tablet.
"As an education company, we've talked to so many parents and families—and we understand the real challenges they face when it comes to their kids' learning. They've got questions like, how can I help my child succeed in school? Are after-school programs really worth it? Or maybe even does my child need a tutor? And some parents tell us their kids are really struggling with specific subjects—spelling, writing or math for kids—and they just don't know where to start. That's exactly why we created TalPad," said Yujing Sun, General Manager of Think Academy. "TalPad was built to help solve these very problems. Meanwhile, we believe that with the development of AI technology, every kids deserves—and should have—easier access to high-quality educational resources. It is a right for every kids and individual in this era. TalPad is more than a learning tablet, it's like giving every child their own elite mentor."
For families exploring homeschooling or seeking to enhance their homeschool programs, TalPad offers the perfect solution. Seamlessly aligning with most homeschool curriculums, our platform empowers parents with a structured yet flexible framework for home education - featuring thousands of engaging math lessons, interactive eBooks, and premium content crafted by leading educators. Beyond these resources, TalPad's true strength lies in its ability to create fully personalized learning plans tailored to each homeschool student's unique needs and pace. TalPad ensures children not only master core concepts but maintain academic parity with traditional school peers through Grade 6. With TalPad, parents gain both the tools for effective homeschooling and the confidence that their child's educational progress remains on track with conventional standards.
Compared to commonly seen kids' or educational tablets, TalPad offers more comprehensive subject support and truly AI-powered personalized learning.

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor Group (The Group) today shared its 2026 strategic vision with global employees, with Executive Chair Euisun Chung presenting priorities focused on continuous customer-focused transformation, strengthened ecosystem competitiveness, and AI-driven innovation to navigate evolving market dynamics and lead new industry standards.
During his new year remarks, Executive Chair Chung presented five key strategic priorities — customer-focused evolution, agile decision-making, ecosystem competitiveness, bold collaboration, and leading new industry standards — to navigate the evolving global landscape.
Driving Transformation Through Customer Focus
Executive Chair Chung opened by expressing gratitude to employees and customers, acknowledging 2025's unprecedented business environment changes while thanking employees for their exceptional performance and customers for their continued trust. He noted that 2026 will bring both headwinds and opportunities as the global business landscape continues to evolve rapidly.
Chung emphasized continuous transformation driven by customer insights. "When conditions get tough and competition fierce, our greatest strength will be our ability to continuously evolve by staying close to our customers," he said.
Specifically, he encouraged employees to take a moment and assess some fundamental questions: "Did we thoroughly reflect customers' perspectives in our products? Did we ever compromise in the process of planning or development? Can we confidently speak of our quality in front of customers? Through these questions, we can look back upon ourselves squarely and strive for progress, thereby keeping ourselves resilient against any challenges," he said.
Agile Decision-Making Through Direct Engagement
Executive Chair Chung welcomed transformation in work methods and leadership. "Leaders must step out into the field, engage directly with people, and understand the essence of situations firsthand," he said.
He emphasized the importance of speed and clarity in organizational operations. "Above all, what matters most is fast and clear communication, and agile decision-making that is free from formality. Let us work more efficiently," he said, highlighting that by fresh thinking of its approaches, the Group can continue to achieve innovation.
Building Competitive Advantage Through Ecosystem Strength
Executive Chair Chung reinforced the importance of ecosystem strength, noting that Group businesses such as vehicle and humanoid robot manufacturing each involve tens of thousands of components, requiring exceptional performance and quality across the entire production chain.
"The strength of our supply ecosystem directly amplifies our competitive advantage. Sustainable growth is possible only when the whole ecosystem stays healthy," he said.
Bold Collaboration for AI-Driven Transformation
Executive Chair Chung emphasized that as AI technology rapidly develops and competitive dynamics shift, the global manufacturing industry is undergoing a major transition. He highlighted the need to advance through bold collaboration with diverse partners in navigating this AI-driven transformation.
"Looking at the automotive market alone, we've entered an era where core product competitiveness is determined by AI capabilities," he noted. Chung emphasized that Hyundai Motor Group is rapidly building capabilities to compete at the highest level, leveraging world-class product design and manufacturing expertise, plus valuable data from manufacturing sites and user experiences.
He shared his strong belief in the Group's competitiveness in the physical AI field and how this will continue to grow to serve customers. "We possess world-class capabilities in the design and manufacturing of physical products. If we envision a bigger future and boldly expand collaboration with various partners to broaden the industrial ecosystem, I am confident we will deliver greater value to customers," he said.
