[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Gyeongbuk Office of Education will hold the ‘2024 Gyeongbuk Office of Education Maker Festival’ from June 3 to 4 to create a space where people can devise creative projects they make themselves, publicly showcase, experience, and share them, and exchange information with various people.

The ‘Maker Festival’ is the largest event among the Gyeongbuk Office of Education’s maker education events and will be conducted through exhibition and experience zones, play and performance zones, project result exhibitions, and regional promotions.

In the exhibition and experience zone, about 50 maker exhibition and experience booths will be operated by the Maker Education Center, Maker Invention Education Center, maker experts, maker teacher research groups, and Infinite Imagination Model Schools, where visitors can experience various activities such as ▲Making No Plastic Soybean Toothpaste ▲Creating Your Own Jibbitz ▲Making Shrinkles Keyrings ▲Creating an Escape Room Game with 3D Block Coding.

The play and performance zone will offer various events where visitors can relax and enjoy themselves. The play zone consists of games that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can easily enjoy, such as ▲The Rose of Sharon Has Bloomed ▲Initial Consonant Quiz ▲Stone Throwing, with small prizes provided. Additionally, various attractions such as busking performances will be offered intermittently during the event.

Besides this, results from maker student club activities and exhibitions from maker-related organizations will be displayed, and outstanding works from the maker activity UCC contest will be screened during the Maker Festival period.

The Maker Festival hosted by the Office of Education will be held at the Saemaeul Movement Theme Park plaza, open to everyone, and participation is completely free of charge.

If visiting the site in person is difficult, maker exhibition and experience booths can also be experienced online through the metaverse, and the process of making maker works can be directly enjoyed through videos on social media.

Kim Jeonghan, Director of the Creative Talent Division, said, “We prepared the Maker Festival so that all Gyeongbuk residents can directly experience maker activities and share maker outputs,” adding, “We hope that the maker culture will spread further so that our children can cultivate creativity, convergence and fusion abilities, and problem-solving skills necessary for the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.”
