[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-su] The Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity announced on the 29th that, together with the Korea Science Museum Association, they will hold the "Visiting Science Museum" event in 20 regions nationwide from the 30th until October 24.

The "Visiting Science Museum" is an event that tours and visits underserved areas with limited access to national science museums and other science cultural facilities, allowing participants to experience various science cultural contents such as science exhibitions, science education, and science performances all in one place. Twenty-five hands-on interactive exhibits that allow visitors to easily learn scientific principles by seeing and touching will be installed and operated. This year, visitors can enjoy interactive media content, AR, VR, experiential content, and brainwave measurement experience content loaded on the newly introduced mobile science event exhibition vehicle (SciWheel). Each region will offer unique science education programs such as celestial observation, fossil replicas, robot arm making, and robot coding, and every Saturday, diverse science performances including the Landolt reaction, alcohol cannon, dry ice experiments, and nitrogen bomb will be held.

Admission is free, and people of all ages and genders are welcome.

Jo Yullae, Chairman of the Foundation, said, "Through this 'Visiting Science Museum,' which will operate interesting and diverse science cultural experience contents, we will strive to help youth in science-culturally underserved areas develop interest and dreams in science, while ensuring that science culture spreads evenly across the country."
