Seoul National University Engineering Students to Lead Exhibitions and Education at National Gwacheon Science Museum

Two Institutions Sign Memorandum of Understanding on the 28th for Fostering Creative Talent and Promoting Science Culture

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] The Gwacheon National Science Museum and the College of Engineering at Seoul National University signed a business agreement on the 28th to foster creative talents and promote science culture.

The two institutions agreed to actively cooperate in various areas, including the development and operation of science education and career experience programs, science culture festivals such as engineering festivals, and improvement of engineering-related exhibits. They plan to jointly develop and operate various programs such as engineering special lectures ("Engineering Stories with Professors from SNU College of Engineering"), engineering camps with Seoul National University College of Engineering, and open labs where research labs are opened for participation. Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in SNU College of Engineering will deliver the experience of living research sites in a friendly manner through mentoring with program participants.

They also decided to jointly hold various science culture events such as the "Engineering Festival." The Gwacheon National Science Museum holds various science culture events every year, including the "Happy Science Festival" in April, the month of science, and the "SF Festival" in autumn. SNU College of Engineering participates by having graduate students directly manage booths, and plans to co-plan online (using metaverse, etc.) science culture events in the future.

Additionally, the Gwacheon Science Museum plans to incorporate creative and engineering elements into exhibits by reflecting the advice of engineering experts from the College of Engineering professors and ideas from graduate students.
