[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Mokpo National University (President Park Min-seo) WISET Jeonnam Regional Mokpo University Project Group (Director Lee Jae-bin) announced on the 7th that, with support from the Science and Technology Promotion Fund, Lottery Fund, and Jeollanam-do resources through Jeonnam Technopark, they started the "Visiting Science Classroom" program on the 20th of last month to provide science and engineering major experience opportunities to middle and high school students in underprivileged and island areas of Jeonnam, and plan to operate it until September.

A total of 10 schools located in the Jeonnam region were selected, and the program is conducted in four fields (Mechanical, ICT, Construction, Environment).

In particular, the schools where the lectures are held strictly comply with and implement measures such as temperature checks and mask-wearing due to COVID-19.

Among the four educational fields, mechanical field education was conducted on the 20th of last month at Gangjin Jakcheon Middle School, on the 26th at Geumil High School, and on the 30th at Imja Middle School.

The education theme was "The Role of Robots in an Untact World," covering theoretical education about humans and robots as well as practical robot-making exercises.

Especially, to prevent the program from being one-sided education, pre- and post-education satisfaction surveys are conducted to reflect the opinions of schools and students, developing the program into more interesting and satisfying education.

In addition, WISET Jeonnam Regional Mokpo University Project Group has produced various e-learning contents in science and engineering fields and posted them on the project group’s website to promote the development and operation of e-learning content.

On the 7th, WISET Jeonnam Regional Mokpo University Project Group conducted a visiting science classroom in the ICT field with students from Nokdong High School.
