Nowon Math Culture Center Donates Wish Coins to Nowon Welfare Foundation

Donation of 726,000 Won from Wish Coins Raised in Lucky Blackhole Content... Popular for Allowing Wishes While Understanding Gravity by Tossing Coins

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Nowon-gu (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced that it donated 726,000 won collected from wish coins through the Nowon Math Culture Center's 'Lucky Black Hole' content experience to the Nowon Education Welfare Foundation on the 29th.

'Lucky Black Hole' is content that helps understand the concept of gravity by observing the phenomenon of coins being sucked into a gravity well after being dropped into it.

The coins rotate inside the well for 5 seconds as they fall, allowing visitors to make a wish while waiting, making it popular.

The wish coins collected in this way will be used as scholarships for youth in need through the welfare foundation. The Nowon Math Culture Center plans to donate the 'Lucky Black Hole' wish coins to the Nowon Education Welfare Foundation every quarter.

The Math Culture Center opened in October last year as the first in the nation among basic local governments to promote the popularization of mathematics through experience, moving away from rote memorization-based math.

As of January 24 this year, marking 100 days since its opening, the Math Culture Center has attracted over 50,000 visitors, showing great popularity.

Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, "Although the amount of the collected wish coins is small, they are precious donations containing the wishes of residents who visited the Nowon Math Culture Center," and added, "We hope many residents will continue to visit the Math Culture Center to understand gravity and participate in the wish coin donation."
