[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] The National Children's Science Museum announced on the 16th that it will operate a "Metaverse Winter Vacation Intensive Camp" where children can simultaneously learn and experience digital science literacy needed for the future era, including accessibility and utilization of the metaverse (extended virtual world), artificial intelligence (AI), coding, and climate change during the winter vacation.

All programs will be conducted as real-time online classes. They will run over three sessions (4 to 8 classes per program) for two months from February 11 to February 18. One child and one parent can participate together, and registration will begin on the museum's website on the 22nd (Wednesday) at 2 PM.

This camp plans to utilize representative domestic and international metaverse platforms such as Zepeto, Gather Town, and Roblox. First, through the Zepeto map, participants will create their own unique avatars. They can visit the newly opened National Children's Science Museum World and experience various activity zones where science can be enjoyed like a game.

In particular, there is an "AI-based OX Quiz" to help prevent future global warming, allowing participants to gain a basic understanding of AI learning structures and learn about the relationship between AI led by humans and humans in the future through the "Artificial Intelligence Plus Zepeto Experience Classroom." In the Gather Town classroom, there is "Climate Change Fairy Tale Stories in Gather Town," which explores three scientific fairy tales on the theme of climate change. In the Roblox classroom, participants can directly code their own unique Roblox games using Lua coding in the "Creating My Own Roblox Game" program. These three metaverse education programs will be operated separately.
