[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Children in Seongbuk-gu have fallen in love with robots.

Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) is deeply engaged in the 'Untact Science Class' held over four weeks starting from the 4th.

This program is conducted for Dream Start children.

A Seongbuk-gu official stated, "In a situation where outdoor activities are inevitably limited due to COVID-19, the participating children are freely expressing their curiosity and creativity with high autonomy."

The lectures are held twice a week, 90 minutes each, from the 4th to the 29th as real-time online classes.

The materials (robot kits) were delivered in advance to each household. To check the children's learning environment and ensure smooth class progress, rehearsals were held from the 1st to the 3rd. The lecture times were set together with the children to further enhance their autonomy.

Lee Su* (Samseon-dong, 9), a child participating in the Untact Science Class, shared, "Although I cannot meet friends in person, it is very fun to build robots together through the monitor and listen to the teacher's stories, and it has made me dream of becoming a scientist."

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, said, "Seongbuk-gu will continue to make various efforts to develop and support diverse content to enhance the creativity and cognitive development of future generations."

Seongbuk-gu is providing tailored integrated services, including various Dream Start projects to promote the healthy growth of vulnerable children and ensure a fair starting line.
