[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) will operate the ‘2021 Seocho Homecance Summer School’ for local students starting in July to welcome the upcoming summer vacation.

‘Seocho Homecance Summer School’ is Seocho-gu’s representative regional specialized project operated in connection with local village education institutions. It has planned three special programs to help students emotionally recover from COVID-19 and provide various opportunities for self-development.

In particular, the ‘Home Delivery All-Class,’ held for the second time following last year, was very popular, with early closure on the first day of recruitment last year, and the ‘AI·Coding Talent Development Project’ was fully booked as soon as the registration window opened.

First, the ‘Home Delivery All-Class’ is a participatory program where learning kits provided free of charge to each household can be enjoyed with family while watching online videos.

The main contents include eco-friendly activities such as growing cherry tomatoes, growing Marimo (green algae), and making tumbler cross bags, encouraging participants to think about, learn, and practice living in harmony with nature.

Additionally, through curriculum-linked content such as making spring water boats and banana pianos, participants can directly learn basic scientific principles. From July 7, Seocho-gu Support Center’s website will recruit 2,000 kindergarten, elementary, and middle school students on a first-come, first-served basis.

Second, the ‘AI·Coding Talent Development Project’ is a specialized education program to cultivate Seocho-style future leading leaders in preparation for the 4th Industrial Revolution era. Based on the basic concept of coding, Python, participants will learn through a professional curriculum consisting of three stages: basic, advanced, and proficiency, over 16 sessions. They will cultivate creativity and problem-solving skills through various applied practices, including implementing projects feasible in daily life. This program is for local students from 4th grade elementary to 3rd grade middle school, and from July 14, Seocho-gu Education Support Center’s website will accept applications for a total of 130 students on a first-come, first-served basis.

Lastly, ‘Creative Music Fairy Tale I Make - I am also a Music Creator’ is a creative music activity where students become music directors themselves, creating their own music fairy tales by composing sound effects and theme songs suitable for fairy tales.

Held every Tuesday for 90 minutes over 8 sessions, the program includes interesting classes such as fairy tale story composition, vocalization methods, playing band instruments using apps, and video editing.

Additionally, for students wishing to take music theory classes, textbooks and videos are provided free of charge to enable self-study at home.

This program is for local elementary school students in grades 2 to 4, and from July 7, 60 students will be recruited on a first-come, first-served basis.

Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Jo said, “In this hot summer, unable to play freely due to COVID-19, we have planned enjoyable and diverse family participation education services so that students can spend healthy and meaningful time. We hope this will be an opportunity for them to enjoy various self-development opportunities such as career exploration, future science, and creative arts activities, and grow further.”
