Hyundai Mobis Supports 'Future Car Technology Experiential Learning' in After-School Care Classes

The First Case of Providing Educational Content to After-School Care Classes
Hyundai Mobis Supports Over 10,000 Students This Year... More Than Double Compared to Last Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Hyundai Mobis will support after-school care classrooms with experiential learning programs and content related to future automotive technology. This is the first case of a company directly providing content for after-school care education programs.

Hyundai Mobis announced on the 26th that it will newly operate the 'Junior Engineering Care Classroom' for elementary school students in after-school care classrooms.

Elementary after-school care classrooms are programs where care teachers look after students who need care after school due to dual-income families or family circumstances. Although demand is increasing, there has been a lack of content for students in the field, and programs such as paper folding and drawing have mainly been offered.

The Junior Engineering Care Classroom prepared by Hyundai Mobis is a social contribution activity that provides content to foster interest in science and technology for students from dual-income families or those needing after-school care. The purpose is to support students who might be excluded from experiential education due to the prolonged remote classes caused by COVID-19.

The Junior Engineering Care Classroom will be operated in a total of six sessions until November at about 20 local children's centers near Hyundai Mobis business sites, targeting 1st and 2nd-grade elementary school students in care classrooms. Participating students will make electric charging cars, self-generating flashlights, LED acrylic mood lights, and learn scientific principles related to future automobiles.

This Junior Engineering Care Classroom is the first case of directly providing educational content to the after-school care education field. Previously, the focus was mainly on building facilities necessary for care education. Hyundai Mobis decided to expand its Junior Engineering Classroom, which has been operated since 2005 and received positive responses, to care classrooms as well.

A Hyundai Mobis official stated, "When the COVID-19 situation improves, we will promote participation of employee instructors in classes and further expand the Junior Engineering Classroom program, including care classrooms, to nurture future scientific talents."

Meanwhile, Hyundai Mobis will support a total of about 10,000 students this year by expanding the Junior Engineering Classroom program to employees' children along with the Junior Engineering Care Classroom course. This is more than double the scale compared to the previous year.
