[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) is recruiting participants for the '2021 Youth SNU Online Engineering Camp' conducted in collaboration with Seoul National University.

The Youth Engineering Camp is an experiential learning program combining camps and engineering, provided online to high school students in the region to foster early development of talented individuals who will contribute to future scientific advancement and to assist in university career choices.

This year's camp will be held entirely online using ZOOM from August 4 to 6 due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Professors and researchers from the College of Engineering at Seoul National University will participate, and current students will serve as mentors throughout the program.

The program includes various components such as 'Department Introduction' presented by current students of the College of Engineering at Seoul National University, 'Engineering Classroom' to learn creative and engineering mindsets, 'Engineering Golden Bell' to review what was learned during the camp, 'Talk Concert' where participants can ask questions and listen to student mentors, and 'Special Lectures' delivered by Seoul National University professors.

In particular, this year, to assist students in career choices, participants can select four departments of interest and receive mentoring from current students in those departments.

Additionally, the experiential activities are organized diversely and operated in small groups to provide close mentoring to students.

Students who participate in the camp will receive a certificate of completion, and outstanding students will be awarded a prize in the name of the Dean of the College of Engineering at Seoul National University.

Any high school students in grades 1 to 3 residing in Gwanak-gu can participate in this camp. The participation fee is 30,000 KRW, and a 50% discount is applied for basic livelihood security recipients and persons with disabilities.
