[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] LG Innotek announced on the 31st that it will conduct the 'Ontact Materials and Components Science Classroom' for elementary school students nationwide this year.

This program is part of the 'Junior Sonamu (Materials and Components Dream Tree) Classroom' activities for the education and welfare of children and adolescents. Along with remodeling old classrooms and providing supplies, it has been continuously carried out for underprivileged students for the past 11 years. This science classroom offers various hands-on activities such as 'Making a Hologram (three-dimensional image) Viewer' and 'Making a Bluetooth Speaker.' About 10 employees with expertise in each field serve as online instructors, conducting storytelling-style theoretical explanations, experiment kit making, and quizzes.

LG Innotek has significantly expanded the scale of the science classroom operation this year compared to the previous year. Participating institutions increased from about 50 to about 90, and the number of participants more than doubled from about 970 to about 2,100. From June to August, the program was held at over 40 child and youth centers nationwide, with a total of about 900 students participating. Additionally, by October this year, about 50 more institutions and about 1,200 students are expected to participate.

LG Innotek plans to invest a total of 650 million KRW in the Junior Sonamu Classroom activities this year and to expand online education support for students in blind spots of care due to COVID-19, remodeling of old classrooms, and provision of supplies. The scale of youth career coaching has more than doubled from about 20 last year to about 50 this year. LG group employees with professional certifications conduct career coaching with students via video calls.

In addition, LG Innotek is promoting the remodeling of 14 old classrooms for after-school academies and Gumi regional child centers, and is also supporting learning equipment such as beam projectors and laptops.
