Gwangju Buk-gu Operates 'Online Science Classroom' in Preparation for Post-Corona Era

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 1st that starting this month, it will conduct the ‘Online Science Classroom Operation and Science Kit Support Project’ targeting 150 lower-grade elementary school students using local children's centers.

This project was prepared to create a healthy and beneficial after-school learning culture by providing online science classrooms that elementary students, whose learning opportunities have been reduced due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, can easily access at home.

Accordingly, Buk-gu converted the previously group-based ‘Visiting Science Classroom’ into online education and will conduct lectures on the theme of ‘drones,’ a core field of the 4th industrial revolution.

The lectures consist of two parts: drone theory education and practice, and ‘science kits’ including ▲toy drones ▲science books ▲jigsaw puzzles ▲mini blocks ▲comprehensive notebooks ▲cubes necessary for practice were distributed.

Students who received the science kits will learn through educational videos posted on the Economic Comprehensive Support Center KakaoTalk channel, Buk-gu Office website (Biz Buk-gu), and Buk-gu Office YouTube, and any students interested in the education can watch them.

Moon In, Mayor of Buk-gu, said, “I hope this online science classroom will provide interest and fun to students interested in the 4th industry and drones,” and added, “We will continue to discover and promote various science programs using online education systems in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era.”
