Jungnang-gu Conducts Dream Start Non-Face-to-Face Program

Non-face-to-face Program for Dream Start Children to be Held for 4 Weeks Starting from the 15th

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will conduct a non-face-to-face program called ‘Robots and Experimental Science’ for Dream Start children for four weeks starting from the 15th.

‘Dream Start’ is a project that provides customized integrated services to children from vulnerable groups to promote their healthy growth and development and ensure equal starting opportunities.

This program was prepared to provide children with various experiential opportunities amid difficulties in conducting face-to-face programs due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

From the 15th to August 5th, it will be conducted every Wednesday through real-time online lectures, and the materials will be sent in advance to individual households.

Participating children will learn the three principles of robots and engage in activities to build robots such as racing cars, the Eiffel Tower, and helicopters. The district plans to lend webcams to households without them to ensure smooth program operation.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “I hope this program will be the first step for growing children to become core talents leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution,” and added, “We will continue to discover various non-face-to-face programs to enhance children’s cognitive development and creativity.”

In May, to celebrate Family Month, the district held the ‘2020 Dream Start Family Film Festival’ while adhering to social distancing guidelines, receiving enthusiastic responses.
