[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] The Gwacheon National Science Museum will hold a talk concert that starts with Children's Day play and talks about science on May 5th.

The event will take place in the planetarium from 4 PM on Children's Day, lasting 90 minutes both online and offline. It is a dome concert planned and hosted by the museum's rocket engineer, astronomer, and science communicator. The dome visuals will be combined with science talks that resonate with the whole family, including moms and dads, based on children's interests.

The theme of this talk concert is "Science through Play?!". It explores various aspects of science that we unknowingly encounter through the scientific principles demonstrated by amusement park attractions like roller coasters, and traditional games like Tuho, which is simple yet exciting. The concert introduces scientific technologies applied to realize the fun and principles behind these movements. It also presents various cases where toys or play methods are utilized in science education and technology development, seeking new perspectives on play and new possibilities emerging from the meeting of play and science.

Offline participation is limited to the first 40 people who make reservations through the museum's website, and to share with a larger audience, the event will be simultaneously broadcast live on the museum's YouTube channel.

Meanwhile, on the same day at 1 PM, a paid family-centered special star constellation commentary program titled "Who is the King of the Sky?" will be held in the planetarium. For more details, please refer to the Gwacheon National Science Museum website.
