Operation of 'Seocho Home (HOME)cance Summer School'

‘Online Summer Camp with AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Coding’ for Youth Creativity Development... ‘Home-Delivery Cool Class’ for Creative Experiential Activities... Free 1:1 Customized Career Counseling with ‘Youth Career and Academic Consulting’... Supporting Active Leisure Activities with ‘My Own TikTok Challenge’

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Cho) is operating the ‘Seocho Home(HOME)cance Summer School’ project to mark the summer vacation season.

The district has organized a total of four diverse and specialized programs to provide seamless learning opportunities both online and offline, so that elementary, middle, and high school students in the area can supplement learning loss caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic this summer and spend their potentially dull summer vacation at home in a meaningful and enjoyable way.

◇ ‘Online Summer Camp with AI (Artificial Intelligence) Coding’

The ‘Online Summer Camp with AI (Artificial Intelligence) Coding’ will be held for 100 middle school students in the area for five days starting from the 10th. This was additionally planned following the explosive response during the recruitment of the ‘Youth Creative Development Group using AI and Coding’ last June.

Also, a small-scale mentoring system is combined, enabling effective online learning management through two-way communication without spatial constraints. Since the classes start from the basics of ‘Python and Deep Learning,’ even beginner students without basic knowledge in AI and coding can actively participate in the classes.

◇ ‘Home-Delivery Cool Class’

The second program, ‘Home-Delivery Cool Class,’ is an online creative experience activity for elementary school students, running for two weeks from the 10th. It consists of five non-face-to-face sessions including making mood lamps, creating your own pet plants, and experiencing special makeup. Students can make household items by watching online content using kits delivered to their homes.

◇ ‘Youth Career and College Admission Consulting’

The third program, ‘Youth Career and College Admission Consulting,’ is a follow-up program to the ‘2021 College Admission Early Application Strategy Briefing’ successfully concluded on the 27th of last month. Starting from the 4th, it offers free one-on-one customized career consulting for 1,000 high school seniors and their parents.

The consulting will be conducted both face-to-face and non-face-to-face, and through delicate and in-depth counseling by experts on college admission and youth career paths, it is expected to boost students’ motivation to study and greatly assist in career choices.

◇ ‘My Own TikTok Challenge’

The final program, ‘My Own TikTok Challenge,’ is a leisure activity program for elementary school students in the area that uses the recently popular mobile video platform application ‘TikTok’ to complete missions.

Over about two weeks starting from the 7th, students will upload their own content such as dances through five challenge missions each week. Outstanding participants will be selected and given small prizes. Registration for all four programs is available through the Seocho-gu Education Support Center website.

In addition to the above four programs, since the 13th of last month, the district has been conducting the nation’s first online musical education program, ‘Youth Dream School - Musical Annie.’ Currently, the final 30 selected members are dedicating themselves to non-face-to-face training aiming for an online joint musical performance in December.

Mayor Eunhee Cho said, “Although this year’s summer vacation is short, I hope that through the various programs of the ‘Seocho Homecance Summer School,’ young people can recharge their bodies and minds, which have been strained by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, and have a meaningful time to awaken their infinite potential.”
