The partnership is Discovery Education’s first in the Republic of Korea, and part of the company’s continued efforts to nurture student curiosity and support educators worldwide.
A recognized leader in Korean education, Gongteo has established partnerships with hundreds of learning centers across the region. Through this new relationship, Gongteo-affiliated learning centers will be able to purchase Discovery Education’s state-of-the-art digital resources for use in K12 education, including Discovery Education’s award-winning learning platform – Discovery Education Experience.
Connecting educators and students to a vast collection of high-quality, standards-aligned content, ready-to-use digital lessons, intuitive quiz and activity creation tools, and professional learning resources, Discovery Education Experience facilitates engaging, daily instruction in any learning environment.

Used in classrooms around the world, Science Techbook drives engagement with exclusive, phenomena-based, interactive digital content and companion printed resources. The virtual and hands-on investigations, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) activities, and instructional supports within Techbook enhance the delivery of impactful, blended instruction, in person or at a distance, while preparing students for the future and nurturing their inherent curiosity in STEM .
